Tassimo has a lot of different coffee companies making Tassimo T-Discs for their single serve coffeemakers, and you’ve probably heard of most of them. The coffee industry is an enormous business and everybody is looking to get in on the action. For some, however, it’s about more than money. Many single-serve coffee brewers have taken on environmental conservation as a major theme in their companies as a result of the damage that has been done to many rainforests as the coffee industry grew exponentially in its early days. Nabob is one of those companies.
Nabob is a coffee company that is dedicated to sustainability. Sustainability is the process by which development meets the needs of the current populace without compromising the needs of future generations. Part of sustainability involves ensuring the rights of those who work in the coffee industry today. The other part involves protecting the environment against erosion and other issues caused by farming to that we can continue to grow the coffee we so love.
Nabob’s products are Rainforest Alliance certified. What’s that mean? Well, the Rainforest Alliance is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that exists only to promote biodiversity conservation and preserve the quality of life for the local people that farm various products. What this association means in layman’s terms is that the Rainforest Alliance personally certifies Nabob’s coffee farms every year to ensure compliance. So you know it’s the real deal.
Nabob coffee was originally called Tradition coffee when it was founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1896. The two grocers that started that original wholesale food store had an interest in coffee that grew into something special. In 1994, Kraft Canada purchased the company, but kept the ideals and traditions that had been a part of the company since the beginning. Today, Nabob is the largest and most successful premium ground and roast coffee company in Canada.
