Is Kicking Horse Coffee shade grown?Updated 9 months ago
Great news – Kicking Horse Coffee only uses shade-grown Arabica beans!
Selecting shade-grown beans is very important to us, however, we do not currently possess a certification specifically for ‘shade-grown’. This actually ties into our Organic certification. Through our dedication to organic beans, we are able to work with farmers who naturally enhance the fertility of the soil by composting, mulching, and investing in shade regulation. Shade-grown coffee isn't just great for quality, it's great for the farmers and environment of the areas our beans come from. Shade-grown means that the wildlife in the area, specifically birds, can continue to live and thrive. It's also great for organic farms (which all of the farms we use are), as the coffee trees can truly thrive in shade-grown environments!
