A Certified Bird Friendly Coffee.

The Ethiopia coffee in this blend is grown and processed by a USDA Certified Organic producer. However, because of issues with the transportation certificate on the recent import, it cannot display the USDA Certification logo. 

Unfortunate situations can occur when dealing with the requirements of global import and export. The lack of a certification logo does not diminish the hard work and dedication required to produce an organic product of the highest quality. We encourage you to continue to support our wonderful partners at Asikana Coffee.

Hellbender Salamander

Close-up of a Eastern Hellbender Salamander on some rocks

The Eastern Hellbender Salamander is North America's largest salamander, growing up to over two feet long. It " breathes" by absorbing oxygen from the water through its skin. Because of this, it survives where there is cold, clear, swift-running water. Human impacts have diminished Hellbender habitat, resulting in decreased numbers in western Maryland and Pennsylvania streams.
