| SAVE THE RAINFOREST...EVERY MORNING |

|
Do your part in saving the planet. Help prevent deforestation of the rain forests of Mexico as part of your morning wake up routine. Have the world's best cup of coffee from beans grown on small plots of land shaded by existing rain forests. Oaxaca is one of Mexico’s prime regions for growing shaded coffee. Ask us to send you a sample, while supply lasts. More than three-quarters of Mexico’s coffee is grown on small plots shaded by the existing rain forest. Because they preserve forest cover, shade coffee farms provide vital ecological services including harboring biodiversity and preventing soil erosion. Unfortunately, tree cover in Mexico’s shade coffee areas is increasingly being cleared to make way for subsistence agriculture, a direct result of the unprecedented decline of international coffee prices over the past decade. This means that the poorest part of Mexico's population moves into further into the jungle, clearing land and therefore increasing deforestation.
Buying coffee from these farmers directly through us helps them to preserve their way of life. It also helps us maintain our missions support staff. We are trying to partner with some one here in the U.S. to import and sell one of the best tasting coffees that you've ever had, contact us to send you a taste. |
