We grow coffee in the Rainforest, not instead of the Rainforest. We have strong, long-lasting relationships with our farming partners. In spite of market demands pushing for fair-trade, organic “certification”, we continue to support our farm collectives. We know that their land has never been chemically treated and we do not promote their payment of high certification fees which both allow them to consistently earn above Fair Trade wages.
We also bypass the middleman and buy direct from our farms. This supports grower's autonomy and honors a way of life they have maintained for hundreds of years. A sustainable farming approach offers a diversified multi-crop lifestyle, protects the natural habitats of an average of 150 species of migrating birds and minimizes the environmental harms created by techni-fied, cleared farms. Additionally, we support a greener world by using the latest in environmentally-sound recyclable packaging, storage, soy printing and biodegradable display containers and shipping.
Every drop of Poverty Bay Coffee supports a positive social cycle and feels as good as it tastes going down.

Shade Grown Coffee is a term to describe coffee beans that are planted and grown under the natural tree canopy of the rainforest. This environmentally safe way to produce rich, flavorful coffee beans protects the migratory birds that inhabit the rainforest as well as many other species who depend on the rainforest’s lush ecosystem.
