The Americas proved to have fertile grounds to grow coffee. Unfortunately, to satisfy the growing demand, the commercial plantations that grow coffee today mass produce it at an alarming rate. As a result, more tropical rain forests are being destroyed. These plantations hire Native people at below-subsistence wages which are barely enough to support their families. These farms also produce a lower quality of coffee and are chemical intensive, using pesticides banned in the United States such as DDT and Malathion.

Native Coffee, on the other hand, is committed to supplying quality coffee and supports the efforts of the organic farmers. We purchase the organic coffee beans from these native farmers and roast them ourselves at plants run by Native Americans. This allows us to offer Native Coffee at prices competitive to or less than commercial coffees. Our Native American personnel are trained to process this quality coffee product on their own land which creates opportunities in management, production, marketing and sales. In addition, part of our profits are dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and families from the coffee growing communities.

As recently as two hundred years ago, the magical powers of coffee were being extolled throughout Europe to the extent that physicians tried to prevent the beverage from becoming widespread so that they could keep it for experimentation. However, its popularity spread rapidly through the homelands and on to the Americas, where the French were the first to cultivate the bean in the tropical climes of the West Indies. From there the coffee bean was grown in Brazil, and soon cultivation spread throughout Mexico, South and Central America.
