Kafevend Announces Launch of Malawi Garden Tea for the Flavia office coffee and tea machine

The first ever Flavia sustainable tea is now available across the entire range of Flavia tea and coffee machines supplied by Kafévend, the UK’s largest independent vending machine operative.

Following the success of the Kenyan Dawn sustainable coffee introduced earlier this year, the Malawi Garden tea directly supports the growers, families and local community of the Kawalazi tea plantation in Malawi, one of the world’s poorest nations.

John Collins, managing director of vending machine supplier Kafévend has worked closely with Flavia to add the sustainable tea to the dozens of beverage options offered to its clients the length and breadth of the mainland UK. “With thousands of vending machines in workplaces around the country, Kafévend is uniquely placed to make a real contribution to the brighter tomorrow scheme for sustainable and fair-trade tea and coffee production in originating countries.”

Sales of sustainable coffee drinks in vending machines have increased by as much as 44% in recent years, indicating a growing appetite for great tasting hot drinks with a social conscience. Adding the first sustainable tea to the Kafévend vending machine menus will allow UK workers to continue to enjoy the great taste they have come to expect from Flavia and Kafévend while knowing that they have made a difference to communities in developing nations with something as simple as the morning cuppa.

An amber tea with a distinctive yet mild and subtle character, the Malawi Garden tea from Flavia can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Flavia’s brighter tomorrow programme of

sustainable teas and coffees channels investment directly to farmers at origin. The scheme helps growers to improve production efficiency and bean quality to directly support surrounding communities.

Vending Machine Remanufactures For Less Waste and Lower Cost

Vending machine supplier Kafévend continues its push for a more environmentally friendly vending industry and ethical approach for the supply of all their vending machines.

Kafevend continues to see an increase in demand for remanufactured vending machines. With all machines currently being remanufactured by Kafévend supplied with a manufacturing seal of approval from environmental organisation, Live Earth, Kafévend’s remanufacturing plant offers businesses wishing to prolong the lifespan of their existing vending machines an environmental and economical option.

The remanufacturing process involves the complete rebuilding of a machine using brand new parts to return it to an ‘as new’ condition. Each cleaning, painting and refitting operation is undertaken using safe and environmentally-friendly processes.

John Collins, Kafévend managing director, said: “The remanufacturing of vending equipment makes sound economic and environmental sense. It reduces wasteful and unnecessary scrapping of serviceable machinery, saves precious resources and provides an excellent value-for-money product.”

The complex process is carried out by trained professionals at a multi-million pound, state of the art facility. Machinery undergoing the renewal process is tested and then re-tested to exacting ISO 9002 safety standards.

Rather than get left behind the technology revolutions, vending machines sent for remanufacturing are re-sprayed, any parts reused are all cleaned using ultrasonic systems and machines are automatically updated to include new software and new technology, providing a more efficient vending machine service. Reliability and electronic flash testing are also carried out as standard for complete security and peace of mind.
