Cafe Organico Mesa de los Santos is certified by BioLatina, an international organization dedicated to organic certification of coffee.

"Bird Friendly®" coffee beans are the only coffees on the market that are certified as shade-grown and organic by an independent third-party inspector using criteria established by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center of the National Zoo. These criteria are based on years of scientific research. Companies that sell "Bird Friendly®" coffees contribute 25 cents per pound to support Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center research and conservation programs.

The producers of Cafe Organico Mesa de los Santos, concerned about nature and the environment, have obtained BioLatina certification after more than three years of effort. During this period, measures including no-chemical utilization during production and the implementation of an ornithlogical program to guarantee native and migratory bird protection, have been adopted.

Cafe Organico Mesa de los Santos is planted with banana and a variety of diferent shade trees, to provide food and habitat to native and migratory birds in the coffee plantation, working as an effective control against plague and insects.

Mesa de los Santos Organic Coffee is the best Colombian coffee I have tasted. As with most origins, coffees from the various regions in Colombia can vary widely in quality throughout the year. The cup quality and preparation of Mesa de los Santos has remained consistent or improved from delivery to delivery during the past eighteen months. I can think of few sources that so succesfully pursue excellence. I have had customers switch from conventional Colombian coffee to Mesa de los Santos organics, not because they wanted organic coffees but rather because they have concluded that Mesa de los Santos was the best" ~ David Kastte
