Recycled paper journal made with coffee

Macawcoffeejournal This nifty Fair Trade, 6 x 8-inch journal (80 pages) is made from recycled paper, the parchment skins of coffee beans, and is pre-coffee-stained so you don't have to worry about spilling your coffee on your thoughts.  The item description from the Fair World Gallery explains:

Coffee paper is made with actual brewed coffee and coffee skins. The rich marbelized coffee color is the coffee stains over the white recycled paper. The coffee skins are added to attain a fiberous texture that is responsive to touch. The coffee utilized is the left-over by-product of the coffee plantations. The coffee fiber used in the paper comes from the mountains of El Salvador in Central America. Both the agricultural by-product of the coffee plantations and the post consumer paper create serious solid waste problems throughout the Americas.

Hat tip to GreatGreenGoods for pointing this out.

“Sustainable coffee is produced on a farm with high biological diversity and low chemical inputs. It conserves resources, protects the environment, produces efficiently, competes commercially, and enhances the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.” -Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, First Sustainable Coffee Congress
