Some compare gourmet coffee to fine wine, we do agree. Because we are so passionate about our coffee we focus on coffees that meet certain levels of sustainability, coffees that enable future generations of farmers to have the health, the wealth and the rich soil to be able continue harvesting great coffee for years to come. We focus on a roasting process that determines the best possible roast for any bean. After selecting our green beans we meticulously roast several batches, tasting every one together to determine the best roast for the beans of any given region.   Shade Grown Organic: Organic is a term people are familiar with today. Many coffee lovers do not know the single most important thing you can have organic is coffee. Coffee is the second largest agricultural crop in the world and the third most heavily chemically sprayed. Three quarters of the coffee grown around the world is sprayed with chemicals that are banned in developed countries for their toxicity to people. Organic coffee tastes better because it is grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides allowing you to taste the natural flavors of the bean. All of our organics are shade grown where appropriate. Most coffee naturally grows under a canopy of shade trees; creating a balanced ecosystem and providing farmers with added economic security from the wood, additional crops such as banana or mangos, and lack of dependence on expensive chemicals. Shade trees also provide migration stops for birds and homes for many animals.   Fair Trade: We can make a difference. Americans drink one fifth of the world’s coffee but few of us realize the crisis coffee farmers’ face today. 70% of coffee today is grown on small farms and many farmers receive prices for their beans that are much lower than the cost of production, forcing them into a cycle of poverty and debt. Children are pulled from school to help pick beans, dropping prices mean less focus on quality; perpetuating the cycle, farms change to another crop or close entirely. The fair trade movement is based on the idea that producers in developing countries are capable of achieving economic success provided they receive fair prices in international markets for what they produce. When you buy Fair Trade you are giving coffee farmers means community development, health, education, and environmental stewardship.   Storing your beans: Store beans in a sealed container, keep in a cool dry place. Place what you will not use in 2 weeks in the freezer and thaw before brewing.   Note: PHOTO is NOT ACTUAL ITEM, your coffee has not yet been roastedJ we will roast your coffee after auction close/purchased and ship fresh to you via USPS priority mail, 2-3 days.   Place a Bid!
