Shade-Grown Coffee Means a Healthy Rainforest - also referred to as bird-friendly. This means the indigenous rainforest canopy has been left intact, rather than clearing the forest to maximize planting. Many species of migratory birds, insects and other creatures such as frogs and lizards live in these shady coffee farms.

By growing coffee amongst the natural fauna of the Costa Rican rainforest we ensure that the many nutrients found in roots, decomposing plant matter and the natural mineral content of the volcanic soil are all retained, further adding to our coffee's intense flavour.
