About Timothy's Rainforest Alliance Certified Coffees

Timothy's Rainforest Alliance Certified coffees are produced on a

plantation in the Cerrado Region of Brazil where the high altitude, stable

temperature, and defined rainy season create perfect conditions for

sustainable Arabica coffee farming. A commitment to the ethical treatment

of the land, the workers and the community creates a moral framework that

supports wildlife conservation, natural resource management and dignified

labor conditions. The plantation's adherence to comprehensive land and

labor standards meets the criteria for certification by Rainforest

Alliance.

The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure

sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business

practices and consumer behavior.
