We ensure that the majority of our coffee grows on farms that practice biodiversity and sustainability. These farms are home to over 100 different varieties of birds, including the Quetzal, an elegant, exotic, colorful creature. The coffee plants grow best in the natural shade in which they make their homes. The trees not only provide shade and give perfect conditions for coffee plants to grow, but all of the plants work together with an underground network of Mycelium, a fungi that connects roots of different plants together allowing them to communicate and work together to provide the perfect cup of coffee; a reminder that we are all connected to nature and one another.
