Nespresso captures the essence of the forest this festive season

This holiday season, Nespresso is enchanting coffee lovers with the launch of its annual Festive collection, inspired by the beauty and depth of Nature’s forests.

Nespresso’s ‘Gifts of the Forest’ collection encapsulates the brand’s devotion to the precious environment that coffee is grown in. The collection features a range of limited-edition coffees for both the Original and Vertuo systems, along with Festive inspired accessories, making for delightful and inspiring gifts for family and friends. Coffee lovers can also gift this Festive season knowing Nespresso is giving back to the forest, as the brand goes beyond its agroforestry commitments, by helping to protect 10 million trees in the Amazon in collaboration with Conservation International and La Pedrera’s Madroño community. Sustainability is at the heart of everything Nespresso does, and drives a commitment to making a positive difference for people and the planet.

To bring the design of the limited-edition collection to life, Nespresso has partnered with Colombian luxury fashion designer Johanna Ortiz, whose innovative designs and interplay between nature and sustainability truly transports coffee aficionados into Nespresso’s festive universe. The beauty of the forest is captured throughout every piece, inclusive of the capsules and sleeves, incorporating rich forest canopies and dark earthy tones that is reminiscent of a Kiwi summer Christmas.

A gift back to the forest

Nespresso is also proud to be partnering with Conservation International to gift back to the forest this Festive season. For almost 20 years Nespresso has been focused on protecting nature through agroforestry projects to protect the ecosystems its coffee farms rely on. To take this further beyond coffee farming and support the local communities that call the forest home, Nespresso is also announcing its contribution to protecting 10 million trees in the Amazon Forest in La Pedrera, Colombia. The effort is in collaboration with Conservation International and La Pedrera’s Madroño community. Forest conservation plays a huge role in Nespresso’s sustainability vision, which is to create a cup of coffee that has a positive impact on the world - from the coffee cherry to the cup.

The limited-edition Gifts of the Forest collection is now available from www.nespresso.com/nz and in Nespresso Boutiques.
