Our Guatemala beans are grown by a cooperative that's certified Smithsonian Bird Friendly and Fair Trade Organic. "Fair Trade has encouraged us to get organized," says coop member Evelio Saucedo. "In our organization we have a voice and a vote. I'm very pleased to be a part of Fair Trade because it has improved the life of my family." We're entranced by the sweet tobacco flavors of this sustainable cup.
