Third Culture Coffee Roasters Brew Up Coffee with a Conscience

Written by Brandon Fisher | Feb 13, 2018 4:58:00 AM

Third Culture Coffee Roasters is a non-profit social enterprise simulation run by Concordia High School students enrolled in the social entrepreneurship class. We exist to create social impact by roasting and selling specialty-grade coffee through student led, experiential learning. We strive to create a passion for social enterprise, foster appreciation for the complexities of coffee production, raise awareness about the impact of consumer choices, cultivate a spirit of teamwork and creativity among students, and uphold a commitment to social responsibility and sustainability.

What We Do in Social Entrepreneurship Class

Concordia students enrolled in social entrepreneurship work on tasks relating to TCC while developing valuable skills. During classes, students roast the coffee and work on presentations and activities that move forward the social enterprise.

Our Impact

Our goal is to provide high quality coffee and also benefit farmers in Yunnan. We do this by sending monthly donations to coffee farmers we work within Yunnan, China. Our money goes into funding raised beds that help dry coffee beans which help farmers to produce higher quality coffee.
