The world’s most popular coffee species are going extinct, according to Researchers at Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in the UK. This new research shows that about 60 percent of coffee species found in the wild could go extinct–very soon and humans are to blame. So while you literally can’t have your cake and eat it too it sounds like you possibly can’t drink your coffee and not change your daily living habits either. Quite a strong statement, we know, but literally threats from human encroachment and deforestation will cause some of these coffee species to be extinct in 10 to 20 years, then add the influence of climate change and your savored cup of coffee each morning could be in big trouble.
The study published in Science Advances — a collaboration between scientists in the UK and Ethiopia — says that unless governments and commercial producers ramp up protections for coffee species and stockpile more seeds, it could impact your daily grind. Fewer coffee crops means your morning cup might get more expensive and taste worse”. – KGUN 9
Of the 124 known varieties of the coffee plant, 22 were classed as vulnerable in this new study. 40 are now considered endangered, 13 are critically endangered, and 75 are threatened with extinction.
Obviously, there is a bigger issue to this than to just stop drinking so much coffee. Even if millions of us did stop drinking so much coffee, that still doesn’t solve the problem of these coffee species going extinct. Although we alone cannot stop these plants from going extinct, we can certainly offer an alternative for now and possibly when that sad day comes when coffee prices start to skyrocket and even more plans hit the endangered list.
It is important to first understand, that we do not hate coffee–not even in the slightest. Obviously, when many people see our product and see that it can be a coffee alternative, some may think we despise coffee but that is just not true. We appreciate coffee for what it is and the joy it brings to people, in fact, some of the natural caffeine found in our products comes from green coffee seeds. We just like to offer a possibly better alternative to those who don’t want to drink coffee, are trying to cut down on coffee, or whatever their reasons may be. For these reasons, we offer products like our SUPER POWDER and the EBOOST SHOT.
