Roasted with Nature in Mind

The coffee you enjoy everyday can contribute to avian biodiversity. With our small batch Smithsonian certified bird-friendly coffee, you'll experience a delightful cup that is naturally shade grown and pesticide free. It's bird-friendly, eco-conscious, and great for early morning birding.
