Oakland Coffee

Oakland Coffee Works is a coffee company founded by Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt of the rock band Green Day. Focusing on sustainability, it is the first coffee company in the world to offer only 100% fully organic and compostable-packaged products.[1]

The Financial Times reported Oakland Coffee's launch in December 2015 as was the world’s first fully compostable 12 oz. coffee bags and fully compostable single-serve coffee cups.[1]

Oakland Coffee sources their beans in the High Andes of Peru, and also in Bolivia and Honduras, and the coffee is organic and fair trade.[2]

Oakland Coffee also launched a grass roots charitable organization in 2013, working in partnership with Crescendos Alliance to support communities in Peru in regions where the coffee beans are grown.[3]
