Shade-grown, organic, and Smithsonian Bird-Friendly® 
Peet's select coffee roast for summer, Yosemite Dos Sierras organic Bird-Friendly Coffee, is sustainably grown and sourced from a single origin estate in Colombia. Named after the two Sierra Nevada mountain ranges in Colombia and California, home to Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Dos Sierras honors Peet's commitment to sustainability and the environment. For every pound of Yosemite Dos Sierras purchased, Peet's will donate a portion of proceeds to the Yosemite National Conservancy.

The beans are shade-grown to ensure slow ripening, which provides a deeply rich and complex flavor. Despite their distance, these two geographic locations share more than a name and commitment to great coffee: several species of birds migrate between these regions, including the near-threatened Olive-sided Flycatcher. Peet's Coffee's sustainable farming practices help protect this species and more, ensuring biodiversity in service to a sustainable planet.
