With a strong Guatemalan foundation, the smoky blend is dark-roasted in order to highlight its Central American qualities. A robust, flavorful cup with smooth finish, the Alabama Environmental Council Blend is a superb dark roast.

Higher Ground prides itself on its coffees that are all organic, Fair Trade, and shade-grown. Allowing the growers to keep their family farms, the Fair Trade certification ensures that these farmers benefit from economic and educational programs, while giving them the chance to grow a high-quality organic bean. The coffee plants grow in the forest canopy's shade—guaranteeing the continued survival of the forests and natural habitat for countless plant and animal species.
