Our Coffee is For the Birds
Birds Georgia is excited to launch our new Smithsonian-certified bird-friendly coffee blend. The Birds Georgia blend is produced in collaboration with Campesino Organic Coffee, a wholesale roaster-distributor located in Americus, GA. Each bag features a Blackburnian Warbler on a coffee plant, designed by Birds Georgia member Julia Weil.
Migratory species like the Blackburnian Warbler face many threats as they traverse the hemisphere. The biggest of those is habitat loss. One way you can help is by purchasing bird-friendly coffee!
Our Birds Georgia blend is sourced from small organic farms in alignment with the Smithsonian Bird Friendly program. This means the beans were grown in the shade of canopy trees, providing vital resources for birds, better conditions for the tree, and in a way that supports the larger ecosystem and the farmers that rely upon it. By purchasing this blend you are helping to create and preserve locations where both birds and people thrive. This is a blend of Latin American coffees and has nice acidities, a sweet, fruity flavor, and a medium body.
Campesino Organic Coffee Company, our roaster-distributor, is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and Georgia Organics. They are committed to fair or alternative trading relationships between farmers and roasters. The coffee is competitively priced on our website at $15/pound. You may also set up auto-ship via Campesino Organic Coffee. Either way, Birds Georgia benefits from your purchase.

Why Drink Shade-Grown Coffee

In 2013, Elaine Read and Matt Weyandt took their toddler and newborn to the jungles of Costa Rica for an unplugged life and a little adventure. While there, they met local chocolate makers using cacao growing in those very jungles to make dark chocolate. The chocolate was intense, unadulterated, and pure—nothing like the sweet flatness they thought of as chocolate. Deciding to return to Atlanta, they first trained with the local chocolate makers and came home to create Xocolatl Small Batch Chocolate (“chock-oh-LAH-tul”), a chocolate micro-factory in Atlanta, where they could make dark chocolate free of fillers and unnecessary ingredients but full of flavor.
In 2018, Xocolatl Small Batch Chocolates and Birds Georgia crossed paths and entered into a cooperative agreement to produce a collaboration chocolate bar that’s good for people and birds. The cacao beans used in this Atlanta Audubon bar are sourced from shaded farms that provide critical habitat for migratory birds, like warblers, tanagers, and other bird species on their wintering grounds. By purchasing this chocolate, you are helping conserve locations where birds and people thrive.
Our Xocolatl/Birds Georgia 72% dark chocolate bars are available for $7 for a single 2.6 ounce bar or 3 bars or $20.
