About BOREAL BLEND™:

By selecting our shade-grown coffee, you've chosen to protect vital winter habitat for North American migratory birds. But that's only half the story. Now you can protect their summer habitat, too—North America's bird nursery, the vast Boreal Forest.

Every summer, almost half of North America's bird species breed in the Boreal Forest. Then, each fall, some 5 billion birds migrate south from the Boreal, many to the regions where our coffee is grown. And, each spring, they will return north to breed, so long as their Boreal habitat remains.

Stretching from Alaska across Canada to Newfoundland, the Boreal Forest is one of the largest unspoiled forests left on earth. But the Boreal is imperiled by industrial threats and clearcutting to feed the U.S. appetite for junk mail, toilet paper and catalogs.

COFFEE FOR THE BIRDS™ has partnered with the Boreal Songbird Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating Americans about the importance of the Boreal Forest to migratory birds. Together, we seek to raise awareness about the interconnectedness of all ecosystems in the Americas and to promote responsible consumerism to conserve them.

Thanks for your support!
