Give love to dad, enjoy coffee and love nature.
“A taste of love” Father’s Day promotion by agnès b.
CAFÉ L.P.G. x The Hummingfish Foundation
agnès b. CAFÉ L.P.G. is proud to collaborate with The Hummingfish Foundation to present a meaningful project themed as “A taste of love” for the Father’s Day. It aims to raise the awareness of social enterprises such as Maubere Mountain Coffee and people in need around the world, and meanwhile promote Timor Leste coffee in Hong Kong.
Timor Leste, the first new nation of the 21st century, literally sees its mountains rise each year as Australia’s tectonic plate crashes up into Asia. It had been undergone a long period of war, including a heavy fight in the Second World War, a brief civil war shortly before a unilateral dec-laration of independence on November 28th, 1975. To strive for their independence from Indonesian dominion, the poor country has lost one-third of their population by the end of 20th century. Finally, the restoration of their Independence succeeded in May 2002. The modern-day Timor has been returned to peace. Coffee & eco-tourism are the highlighted projects and it is a little-known paradise for cycling, hiking and diving.
The Hummingfish Foundation is a registered charitable organization set up by veteran photo journalist, Daniel J. Groshong in Hong Kong in 2010. Hummingfish is dedicated to protecting the earth’s unspoiled natural environments by “adding value to nature”. The foundation strives to support sustainable community-based nature tourism (diving, birding, trekking, etc.) and green entrepreneurs (e.g. soap, coffee, sea salt, etc.). Hummingfish is now working on a project which is supporting the coffee farmers of Laclubar, called the Maubere Mountain Coffee Project. The project aims to grow, process, brand and export the world’s best organic coffee and give back 100% of proceeds to the community.
Selected cafes will serve French Press coffee and a special Father’s day gift set with 100 gm freshly roasted coffee beans or coffee powder and coffee mug will be promoted from now to 26 June 2014.
Give love to dad, enjoy coffee and love nature.

Hong Kong now is hosting to 1600 papier-mâché pandas as part of the launch of the month-long “1600 Pandas World Tour in Hong Kong: Creativity Meets Conservation” organized by PMQ and curated by AllRightsReserved.
The creation of French artist Paulo Grangeon, the pandas will come in six different shapes and sizes, with four more one-of-a-kind papier-mâché versions for Hong Kong.
From June 9 to June 21, the pandas will be displayed at more than 10 Hong Kong landmarks including Ma Wan, the historic Clock Tower at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza in Tsim Sha Tsui, Victoria Park and Statue Square before gathering at the PMQ on Aberdeen Street in Central as part of a three-week exhibition.
To coincide with the tour a collection of 23 exclusively designed for Hong Kong “1600 Pandas Tour” Facebook stickers were created and will be available for download worldwide from June 10.
“Stickers are illustrations or animations of characters that you can send to friends. They’re a great way to share how you’re feeling and add personality to your chats. As more and more companies focus on mobile and look for ways to engage users in communication through content, stickers are an extension of that content-sharing trend,” said Jayne Leung, Head of Greater China, Facebook.
The 1600 pandas have visited France, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Taiwan, and have been part of nearly 100 exhibitions.
