Higher Ground's Espresso Blend is comprised of beans from every geographical growing region. A perfectly well-balanced blend, the sweet and bold coffee ends with a smoky finish. A very agreeable espresso, it lends itself to steamed milk, but is, of course, unrivaled on its own.

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.

100% Organic, Fair Trade, Shade Grown Coffee

FAIRER MEANS
All of Higher Ground’s coffees are Fair Trade, organic, and shade grown. This way, we can guarantee that the family farmers we depend on for excellent coffee are getting a good price for their product, and that their way of life and approach to agriculture will be preserved for years to come. Fair Trade certification better enables the farmers who grow our coffees to keep their family owned farms and benefit from economic and educational programs—in short, allowing the fruits of their labor to be reinvested in their own communities. All of our coffees are also grown in the shade of the forest canopy—preserving ancient forests and natural habitat for innumerable species of plants and animals.
