Impact Berry Sustainable Premium Coffee Now Brewing at MANA!
(Hong Kong, October 2020) – Impact Berry, Hong Kong’s first actively social and most sustainable premium coffee brand, is now available at MANA! Starstreet and the new MANA! SoHo location as part of MANA!’s signature V-coffee menu.
With the power of organic single origin coffee, sustainably and responsibly sourced from farms in Asia and roasted freshly in Hong Kong, every cup empowers farmers, their communities and the environment. Together with MANA!, Impact Berry is delighted to bring coffee drinkers the opportunity to impact together through responsible, sustainable coffee habits.
On the coffee drinking side, Impact Berry encourages kindness to the planet and to ourselves through organic coffee beans that are grown wildly, instead of on deforested farm plots. This helps preserve the indigenous ecosystem in Vietnam and Indonesia. By sourcing coffee from Asian regions and shipping by sea, Impact Berry reduces the transport carbon footprint of the coffee by up to 98% percent, compared to coffee sourced from Africa or South America. Impact Berry’s mission is to empower coffee farmers and their communities to earn a sustainable income from cultivating high quality coffee beans as well as to make coffee enjoyment more environmentally sustainable.

Together with MANA!’s well-loved plant-based whole-food and inspiring planet initiatives, an even greater impact can be made when eco-conscious coffee is combined with an eco-conscious menu.
MANA!’s signature V-coffee, Hong Kong’s original vegan coffee is a concept that transforms the normal coffee experience into one that is fueled with high quality plant-based ingredients, made with non-dairy milks, and served in MANA!’s fully compostable cup and lid.

Impact Berry was founded in 2019 after a series of heavy earthquakes hit small islands in central Indonesia, causing massive destruction to infrastructure and water supply throughout the communities. In order to support the villages rebuild, founders Sonja Debus and Timo Juritsch looked for sustainable solutions to create new streams of consistent income for the communities and discovered their rich heritage and expertise in growing coffee. Now, proceeds from the sale of Impact Berry coffee beans go beyond funding disaster relief initiatives and directly support farmers and their families with education, sanitation, and more.
Impact Berry’s signature espresso blend, made from organic Vietnam and Indonesia beans, is now brewing at the V-coffee bars in MANA! Starstreet and the newly opened MANA! SoHo. Let’s impact together!
