Brew Bio-Diversity
- Created by Smithsonian scientists, the Bird Friendly ® gold standard does more than other eco-friendly seals to protect habitat that is often destroyed to make way for coffee growing.
- Instead of clearing rainforest, Bird Friendly coffees grow underneath shade trees that provide habitat for birds, including migratory species, whose impressive journeys can take them from the backyards of the US and Canada all the way to coffee farms in Latin America.
- Bird Friendly certified coffees are 100% pure shade-grown and USDA Organic, making them better for you and for the planet.
- Bird Friendly farms fight climate change and its effects- shade trees sequester carbon and protect farmers' crops from increased temperatures and rainfall.
- Coffee experts say shade-grown coffees taste better because the beans mature for longer under shade, creating a more complex, deeper flavor.
- More than 5,400 coffee growers protect over 46,000 acres of
Bird Friendly ® habitat worldwide, from Mexico to Peru, Ethiopia to Thailand.
