Certified Organic
Sierra Club Coffee is grown without the dangerous pesticides and fertilizers that are commonly used on conventional coffee plantations.
 
Fair Trade Certified

Unlike much conventional coffee, Sierra Club Coffee is grown under diversified shade cover, the natural habitat of hundreds of species of migratory song birds
