IndyBest: 15 best sustainable Christmas gifts – From organic socks to coffee subscription boxes

There’s good coffee and then there’s really good coffee. Coffee made from organic single origin Honduran beans, farmed to fair trade standards, roasted in an “off grid” roastery (in Shropshire) that’s powered by wind, solar and natural gas, and delivered straight to your door in 100 per cent compostable letterbox-friendly packaging. Phew. Did you get all that? We’ve just had a cup.

In addition, each purchase comes with a certificate to show you have inset an entire ton of carbon, because Apostle has planted an endangered tree with a 40-year lifespan in the forest that surrounds the roastery. That’s one to go on the fridge.  

The cardboard can be recycled and the stickers and inner cellophane bag can be put in the general waste or go in your local council’s compost collection if you have this service.
