Beyond the cup

Next-generation sustainability

Three things that make Sabio more than a coffee supplier

River water on the Sabio Coffee property, the source that powers the farm, Nicaragua.

Energy & land

Powered by the river that runs through it

A hydroelectric plant on the property runs the entire farm. The water that grows the coffee powers it, then returns to the watershed.

100% Hydroelectric power

Biodiversity

Shade-grown, under a living canopy

Eucalyptus, oak, banana, mango, various citrus, and other trees shade the coffee and enrich the natural biodiversity of the farm. Slower maturation, better beans, and habitat that keeps the soil, the water, and the birds.

800 Acres of coffee
800 Acres of protected rainforest

Innovation · Wize Tea

One plant, two crops

With Wize, the coffee leaf most farms discard becomes a caffeinated tea. A second harvest from the same tree, and a second income for the people who pick it.
