Hazelnut Coffee Ground

Celebrate 100% Bird-Friendly Honduran coffee! This special edition coffee commemorates Dean's Beans commitment to protecting migratory birds and their habitat. They have collaborated with the community in Marcala, Honduras to promote reforestation and agroforestry initiatives. It is smooth and full bodied, with low acidity and prevalent chocolate notes. This coffee is entirely produced by women, the Manos de Mujer group (Hands of Women). They formed in 2013 to diversify their farms and create a more stable income and standard of living year round. All of the farms are certified Bird-Friendly by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, so the coffee is shade-grown, under a diverse canopy of native trees, providing critical habitat to migratory birds from North America. Many of these trees are also fruit trees, so in addition to providing migratory bird habitat and soil health, they also provide farmers with additional income during the off season from the sale of fruits. Bird-Friendly is a true win-win-win: for the birds, for the Earth, and for the farmer. Roast level: Velvet (between medium & dark roasts). 1 lb bag.
