Note that their site is NOT complete. For example, this place (which has a black friday sale) has Smithsonian certified coffees but isn’t on their interactive map.
I used to look for coffee certified by the Rainforest Alliance, but since Nestle seems to have bought them off, I worry that their standards have become compromised.
Ummm… I give my coffee drinkers bird friendly coffee: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/where-buy-bird-friendly-coffee

Why would you get them something that is from a label that has no standardization? “Bird friendly” doesn’t even mean anything. Birds aren’t real

D’oh! You got me.
First time hearing about bird friendly coffee. That’s very interesting.
