(I might not list them all of these but these are the ones I’m interested in. If they have a STAR by it, it means I’ve heard it and I like it)

Pitchfork Review
Video for Saro
Grounds for Change is a family owned and operated coffee roasting business located in the Pacific Northwest. They roast 100% Fair Trade, Organic coffee in small batches to ensure that you receive the freshest coffee possible. The vast majority of the coffee they sell is also Shade Grown Coffee which ensures healthy habitat for migratory birds.
Not only do they offer all of the things above but they also offset 100% of their non-renewable energy consumption through a partnership with Puget Sound Energy’s Green Power Program. (Read more.)
The flavors I am most into right are the Agate Pass Blend, Solstice Blend, and the Bolivia Blend.
