75% of the world’s coffee is farmed with practices that leave no place for birds. Bird Friendly® certified coffee preserves critical habitats for birds and wildlife through a mix of foliage cover, tree height, and biodiversity. Bird Alliance of Oregon has advocated for more than 120 years to protect birds and wildlife across Oregon.

The Pacific Flyway lot hails from Coto Brus, Puntarenas in Costa Rica, where Roberto Montero of Finca Amistad cultivates Caturra and Catuai at 1200–1500 meters above sea level. Water Avenue Coffee has selected this fully washed coffee, which underwent sun and mechanical drying—a hybrid approach that balances the brightness typical of washed processing with the stability of mechanical climate control. The blend of these established varietals in this elevation range positions the lot to express the clarity and clean sweetness Costa Rican coffees are known for, while the dual-drying method adds textural nuance to the cup.
