WHY to buy shade-grown coffee

[Sattie]

You can help protect migratory birds' winter home habitat by buying coffee made from shade-grown beans.


Consumer Guide Summary:

Usually organic, the coffee comes from farms that use the traditional under-tree growing style, rather than the more recent, pesticide-intensive sun-grown method that destroys bird habitats. Shade-grown coffee provides habitats for migratory birds in Central and South America and Indonesia, as well as providing the fuller flavor of beans that have been slowly ripened.
