Instead of clearing rainforest, our 100% pure shade-grown, organic, Bird Friendly coffees grow underneath shade trees that provide habitat for birds, including migratory species, whose impressive journeys can take them from our backyards all the way to coffee farms in Latin America. Coffee experts say shade-grown coffees taste better because the beans mature longer under shade, creating a more complex, deeper flavor.

Traditional coffee farming has destroyed the habitats of many migratory songbirds, contributing to their drastic decline in recent years. By simply drinking Shade-Grown coffee, coffee lovers can help preserve over 250,000 acres of prime tropical habitat, thereby saving birds! Three-quarters of the world's coffee farms grow coffee in the sun and typically use harmful pesticides and fertilizers that poison the environment. When forests disappear, so do migratory songbirds. In order to combat bird species population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the "Bird Friendly" certification. Shade-grown coffee helps more than 42 species of North American migratory songbirds that winter in coffee plantations, including beautiful birds such as orioles, warblers and thrushes!
