It's Organic
Certified Organic coffee ensures the coffee has been grown using organic methods, without pesticides, chemical fertilizers or contaminates.

The Bookery uses only Certified Organic Coffee & Tea.

It's Shade Grown
Certified Shade-Grown coffee means the coffee has been grown under forest cover, providing habitat for songbirds and other forest creatures, and preserving rainforests and ecosystems. Shade-grown coffee is also 'bird-friendly' and some are certified so.

The Bookery's Coffee is Certified Shade-Grown.
