HAPPY BARISTA LAUNCH CHARITY COFFEE ROAST WITH THE GLACIER TRUST

Little Bird coffee traders Happy Barista are proud to announce an inspiring collaboration with The Glacier Trust with the release of a special charity coffee roast, Solukhumbu Charity Roast, from the Solukhumbu region of Nepal. 


This limited edition Solukhumbu Charity Roast celebrates a decade-long effort to support local farmers in transitioning to coffee cultivation as a sustainable response to the impacts of climate change. Rising temperatures, shifting weather patterns and intense rainfall events have made maintaining traditional farming increasingly difficult and risky in the Himalayan foothills. 


With support from North Yorkshire based charity The Glacier Trust, farmers in Solukhumbu have adapted by growing high quality coffee, a crop when grown in a layered agroforestry system, which is well suited to the changing conditions, and capable of providing long term economic stability. 


County Durham based roasters, Happy Barista, known for their ethically sourced and expertly crafted coffee.


“This partnership is deeply meaningful to us,” said Tom Bolland of Happy Barista. “We believe coffee can be a force for good, and this project is a testament to that belief. Every cup of this roast tells a story of resilience, community, and hope.”


Proceeds from each sale will directly support The Glacier Trust’s ongoing work in Nepal, which includes agroforestry, climate-resilient farming, water resource management, and climate education and research - crucial components in helping communities adapt to the increasing pressures of a warming planet.


The Solukhumbu Charity Roast is available online via Happy Barista and at their coffee pod. They will be joining us at Knaresborough and Harrogate this weekend.
