Coffee connects us in so many ways - to each other, to our senses, and to the earth that supports the coffee trees.
The benefits of organic coffee are significant, as chemical-free soil is good soil. This extends to healthy trees which result in good beans with greater antioxidants and less chemical residues.
Naturally healthy soil can sustain coffee crops for generations to come. All of this contributes to the quality of the bean.
