Shade Grown Coffee

Song Bird Coffee is the product of a joint venture between the American Birding Association (ABA) and Thanksgiving Coffee Company. Together they offer the Song Bird line of shade-grown coffees to enable bird lovers and coffee lovers and everyone to vote with their pocketbooks for the survival of bird habitat while enjoying superb coffee. The ABA endorses Song Bird Coffee, while Thanksgiving produces and markets the product. The company also returns 15 cents per package to the ABA.

Many birds familiar to North Americans migrate to the canopies of Latin American rainforests. In fact, 33% of all migratory birds that breed in the United States spend winter in coffee growing areas of Latin America.

Shade coffee farms support over 150 species of birds. This is a far greater number than is found in other agricultural habitats and is only slightly exceeded in undisturbed rainforests. In the midst of shrinking rainforest habitat, migratory birds have found sanctuary in shade-grown farms.

Thanksgiving Coffee uses verified shade grown coffee. This means that its CEO, Paul Katzeff, or the importer has personally inspected the farm to insure that the plants are properly grown in the shade.

	Bat Magic Dark Bean		Bat Magic Dark Bean Bat Magic Dark Roast Rainforest Blend The sale of this coffee not only benefits bats, but also helps the coffee farmers, since the coffee we have used is Fair Traded. It is also Certified Organic, which benefits all of us on planet Earth. This dark roast's flavor is intriguing - strong yet smooth with a long-lasting finish. In their own way, bats work magic - pollinating flowers, dispersing seeds, controlling insect pests, and fertilizing forests. Unfortunately, many bat species are in decline as their habitats are increasingly threatened. Thanksgiving Coffee is working with Wildlife Trust and Bat Conservation International to protect bats and their habitats from extinction. A portion of the retail sale of Bat Magic Coffee will support the global initiatives to do just that. Goto New Catalog: Product ID: SBBMDB
