When you wake up in the morning and head to the kitchen to make a drink, are you team tea or team coffee? It’s a debate that’s divided the Vegan Life office down the middle — some can’t get going without their oat milk lattes, whilst others swear by their soya cuppas. Whichever way you choose to get your caffeine fix, it’s important to know about the impact of your drink. From ethical sourcing to environmental degradation and plastic waste, both tea and coffee have significant footprints. We spoke to two companies — one coffee and one tea, to keep things balanced — about what they’re doing to make their products more sustainable, and what we need to look out for in our own hot drinks. Also, if you want to put the case forward for your team, we’ve got some of the best benefits of each to help prove your point. Time to pop the kettle on!
