Deep within the Sierra Madre mountains of Southern Chiapas is one of the world’s most pristine and diverse natural places—300,000 fog-shrouded acres known as the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve.
This extraordinary cloud forest is home to the resplendent quetzal, spider monkey, jaguar and tapir. Hundreds of butterfly species flit among giant tree ferns, bromeliads and orchids. It is one of the few remaining unspoiled places in Mexico, and all of Latin America. And it is where PBS Blend takes root and blossoms.
In the buffer zone surrounding the reserve, family farmers grow coffee under the shade of a forest canopy, which provides habitat to countless species of birds, mammals and insects. In this way, the buffer zone both protects the core zones of the biosphere, and promotes sustainable commerce for the surrounding communities of farmers.
A trusted community resource, PBS uses the power of noncommercial television, the Internet and other media to enrich the lives of all Americans through independent, original and enlightening programs and educational services that inspire people to be more — more informed, empowered, and engaged. By crafting a delicious, Fair Trade Certified™ coffee in support of PBS, we are able to offer you a blend that brings these values to life in the form of better coffee and a better life for the farmers who grow it. When you purchase PBS Blend you are helping to provide a delicious new way for the public to support this important cause.
