Lightly roasted to express the unique characteristics of this exceptional coffee: juicy ripe cherry sweetness, cacao nibs, and sugary molasses. The coffee is shade-grown on steep volcanic slopes of the Northwestern Highlands of Guatemala by Maya K'iche' coffee farmers. It is a gift from craft-inspired farmers whose ancestors have lived in these lush mountain forests for millennia. These are premium coffee beans - certified Bird Friendly by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center as grown in the shade for the richest flavor, certified organic, certified GMO-free, and promoting naturally healthy soil. This is the hardest certification to get because it is traced from the farms through the roasting and packaging. You reap the rewards in your cup! Each package sold benefits the American Birding Association's programs. By drinking shade-grown and bird friendly certified coffee every morning, you are supporting these coffee farmers, the efforts of the ABA, and the countless birds they are protecting through community outreach and conservation.
