Organic Coffee Beans

Organic coffee is grown without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and thereby helps to better sustain our environtments. On the other hand, it also sustain better economic conditions for the coffee growers.

Shade Grown Coffee

Shade-grown coffee growers focus more on the ecological sustainability of the growing and harvesting methods i.e avoid depletion of natural resources, co-existence with the natural flora and fauna etc.  side benefit is that the shade slows the maturation of the bean, allowing a higher sugar content (and therefore more flavorful bean) to develop.

Fair Trade Certified

Fair trade coffee gives farmers a better standard of living and producer cooperatives are guaranteed a minimum fair price for their crop.
