The world can never have too much kindness. When kindness helps sustain our environment and promote equitable treatment of others, it’s more than a double blessing. Kind Coffee in Estes Park, Colorado uses certified organic and fairly traded coffees to promote both its coffees and its humanitarian philosophy.
The Kind Philosophy
About The Coffee
Their coffees are:
- Bird-friendly: Their coffee is grown under trees in a forest rather than on acreage that’s been cleared and provides no habitat for birds.
- Fair traded: Kind Coffee is fairly traded, providing the growers with a fair price for their beans.
- Organic: Grown without pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals, their coffee beans are healthier and leave a cleaner environment for the entire planet.
- Swiss water-processed: Their decaf coffee uses the Swiss water process rather than MEK or other harmful chemicals.
