Our coffee
selection comes from some mayor coffee producing
countries like Brazil, Colombia, Peru, all Central
America countries like Costa Rica, El Salvador and
Guatemala. Pacific, Asia and African-Arabia like Papua
New Guinea, Kenya, Sumatra, Yemen. Our coffee beans have
the best flavors and aromas of each region. Quality and
sustainability are equally important considerations for
us, and we also guarantee 3 main features: organic, bird
friendly or shade grown and fair trade.
Why? Because we care about farmers, and paying them fair
prices for their products in order for them to have
decent livelihood. We care about the environment and we
care about our customers. We want to establish an
authentic connection between real people who grow coffee
and the coffee lovers who appreciate a unique flavour
and quality.Our
company stands by our mission and the coffees that we
carry.
The Coffee Warbler is a bird that lives in Canada and
migrates to Latin America stopping in coffee farms. We
care and protect birds like warbles. We guarantee that
our coffees are grown and roasted in an eco-friendly
way, to preserve precious resources and fauna like the
warblers..
According with the book "The Coffee Book: Anatomy of An
Industry", around 40% of the 7 million acres planted
with coffee in Mexico, Colombia, Central America, and
the Caribbean through the early 1990s have now
mechanized systems for the production of coffee. This
has caused significant tropical biodiversity loss,
including the now notorious decline of neotropical
migratory songbirds such as Baltimore Orioles, Warbles,
and Vireos. These birds spend the summer in North
America and migrate to different regions of Latin
America during winter. Their survival depends to a great
extent on preserving the forest landscape such as those
provided by traditional coffee agro forestry systems
that we support. Indeed, studies have found up to 97%
fewer birds species in sun-grown coffee as compared to
shade-grown coffee.
These technified and intensified coffee production
systems not only reduce these shade tree habitats but
also demand more chemical input. Because are produced
industrially, these chemical tie farmers in to another
risky global commodity: Petroleum. Moreover, they poison
the land and water resources and create real ecosystems
problems for people, animals and other plants.
