The CAPULIN EFFORT is a gentle, peaceful means to direct the cash flow of the Mega-Corporate World's Second Largest Money Maker, to help feed people throughout the coffee growing regions of the world.

The income from their hand crafted coffee helps them protect their forests (a planetary benefit), it protects their streams and the wild life and it produces really nice 'natural' coffee.

The CAPULIN EFFORT provides a means whereby we will be able to withdraw support of the exploitation going on within the largest agricultural industry in the world, feed some folks, help restore the environment, and drink a healthier, natural cup of coffee.

You can make a 'REAL DIFFERNCE' while still enjoying a wonderful and delicious cup of good,old-fashioned coffee, a win/win for everyone.

CAPULIN believes 'Natural' coffee can return the work rights and benefits of gainful employment to the people whom have suffered most because of the miss conceptions surrounding the water-processing of coffee and the un-noticed but connected poverty which results.

We the consumers can: protect the forest, the streams, the birds and the babies, with just a little bit of enlightenment!

Accepting that, the 'good deal', the 'cheap', and the 'most we can get for our money’ have been the criteria we are taught, CAPULIN believes that to have a peaceful world, it is absolutely necessary that we begin to recognize that there are those things which are not taught, yet must be learned. From inside.

The propaganda and distraction away from the accompanying cost of human misery and environmental destruction associated with the commonly accepted processing method, makes one accept that these costs are not 'real' and they're not really there.

But they are there and they're all too frequently encountered behind the 'cheap' price tags, must be recognized by ‘YOU’, the Conscious Consumers, because the Unconscious Consumers do not recognize and they never will until 'YOU DO'!

The Coffee Industry will follow the Market. ...YOU ARE THE MARKET!

Today’s modern, cost effective processing in water, while providing a lower price tag, has little understood issues of environmental destruction and social deprivation as a result and are not well addressed by the Multi-National Corporate Endeavor!

The traditional hand processed method of production, is high cost and labor intensive, however, it does provide a healthy, Natural Coffee, and offers the consumer a far superior cup of good tasting, non-irritating, socially appropriate coffee as its by product.

We are frequently asked; "WHY DOES CAPULIN COST MORE"?

OK, CAPULIN costs more, quite simply because it costs more to produce a quality product which is a healthful benefit for the Consumer, the Planet and everyone involved!

A few of the official CAPULIN responses are:
Because it costs more to employ the people to hand process coffee, which provides desperately needed employment, instead of water processing which removes labor from the villages, creating deprivation and environmental destruction and a dramatically lesser quality coffee when the sugars are fermented away for ease of processing.

Because it costs more to protect the environment than it does to pollute the waters for miles below the processing plants, destroying the river habitats with 'corporate technology', just so you can be provided with a 'cheap' price tag for your cup of coffee.

Because it costs more to pay people enough to help them feed themselves and retain their lands rather than adding to the plight of the peasants who are being forced to cut their trees in order to provide food for their families, consuming the world's tropical forests in an effort to survive or face the journey to 'El Norte' and become illegal aliens in a desperate attempt to send money home to keep their families alive in the villages.

CAPULIN asks that you look behind that 'cheap' price tag!

Yes, it does cost more to drink a truly 'Socially Appropriate' coffee. The rewards, however, far exceed expectation. A smooth, low acid ‘Natural’ is sweeter and more stimulating than washed coffees just as ‘Natural’ Specie Fruits taste better than the corporate hybrid counterparts, and in fact, costs less than ten cents a cup more!

Here's an imperative view!
Our consumption of the natural specie fruits and coffees help preserve the jungle forest’s environment, feeds people, protects the rapidly diminishing jungle bird habitats and provide a means to stop filling the coffers of the Multi-National corporations, now in control of these industries, in favor of more socially responsible endeavors.

Don’t be beguiled!
This reference includes the ‘would do good‘, 'New Age’ type Companies and their ‘Madison Avenue catch words’, 'Certified', 'Fair', 'Equal', 'Happy', 'Thankful', 'Kid and Bird'. Friendly Coffees who seek their place in the competitive market with their Multi-National counter parts, all clutching for the same ‘consumer’ dollar, and most all utilize the very same disruptive, water-processed methods of production in order to compete with the master dollar grabbers. 'Caveat Emptor'!

World Peace lies in the consumer's hands!
Ultimately, The Consumer has the power to dictate which products survive and which must perish. CAPULIN believes this creates a 'consumer responsibility' to participate in peaceful change!

Real, True Green!

The only way to accomplish a Peaceful Custodial of the Planet is based on a solid economic climate, which requires that the consumer is educated, attentive, and prepared to pay the 'real price' of the product, or do without !

Conversely, the corporate scheme depends on the consumer’s lack of education of these vitally important differences, a 'cheap' price tag and indifferent consumerism! Once again, 'Caveat Emptor'!

Knowledge of what is taking place as a by-product of ‘cheaper’, water-processed coffee and hybrid fruits could be the catalyst for a Renaissance, a peaceful evolution within our lifetime. The Earth, her forests, the forest dwellers, the birds and the animals, both four legged and two legged, desperately need their plight exposed.

The coffee industry’, through a return to hand processed, natural coffee, could be a strong enough economic cash flow to stabilize a paradigm shift and return to the indigenous role of care taking the Mother Earth again in the up and coming economic shift.

This needed ’REBIRTH’, will only occur when the buying public understands exactly what the effects of the commercial coffee
process has on the quality of their coffee, the impoverished people who toil to produce it, the survival of the jungle flora and fauna, and how those microcosms interact within their own macrocosm.

This depends on YOU and your COMPREHENSION!

The CAPULIN EFFORT hopes to draw the consumer's attention to present a view as to the relationship between environmental and social destruction and and a commonly accepted method of processing. Only through consumer knowledge will folks avoid purchasing coffee which was not dry processed 'Naturally' and stop the 'OK' for production standards which do not protect the people, the product and the planet.

The taste superiority and natural stimulation, provided by handcrafted CAPULIN coffee,is sufficient reason to make a change in your buying preferences. Combine it with the facts surrounding the coffee industry and you too can do a little to improve the world while you sip your cup.

Sound simple? It is!

Just remember it when you reach for that convenient pound produced by an unconcerned, water processor!

Please: Do not continue to support the corporate exploitation of the people and the environment by drinking, their coffee, voting for their methods of production or financing their purchases and leases of traditional heritage lands. Reject the water-bath coffee industry’s offerings! Buy healthy, natural coffee, anybody's, but don’t vote for them with your dollars! Either that, or stop saying that you care about the plight of the planet yet continue to purchase another pound of corporate water-processed coffee!

There are no good guys or bad guys in this, there are but the conscious and the un-concerned.

To make it quicker and easier to join us….CAPULIN INTERNATIONAL will include the price of shipping within the continental USA, at one not so low price of $18.95 per pound, delivered to any U.S. door, including all applicable taxes, and handling fees.

To those concerned with organic certification, using it as a means of determining if a product is natural and chemical free.

CAPULIN coffee is grown in the coastal mountains of Nayarit. Our coffee growing region is one of the few places left that has Naturally Occurring Indigenous Trees growing in the jungle.

This natural, chemical free environment, where the coffee trees are self-propagating, has no need of fertilizers or poisons as the jungle provides it's own ecological balance.

Coffee trees and their seeds in our region are like pine trees and pinecones in the Northwest. There is no need to break from the natural, chemical free, growing methods of antiquity.

While it is true, corporate encroachment and pressure upon the the small farmers to plant commercial crops which require chemical sprays and fertilizers is increasing; the best combatant is a strong market for natural jungle products.

This has been the focus of the CAPULIN EFFORT, to help bring attention to the existence and importance of preserving these environments.
The farmers of our region are amongst the poorest farmers, still struggling to hold on to their land base. While economically unfeasible to use chemicals where they aren't needed, it is equally unfeasible to pay the organic certifiers who are paid to say what they say.

Though a commercial, water-processed coffee may be 'Certified Organic', it is far more detrimental to the well being of the village people, the forests, the wild life inhabitants, and the consumers than these natural jungle, shade grown, 100% fully mature, traditionally dried, hand sorted, Arabica coffee cherries used by CAPULIN.

For these reasons we present, Shade Grown, Chemical and Toxic Spray Free, CAPULIN as 100% Natural Jungle Coffee!

The money that would be paid for certification to large corporation is paid to the people who really need it and who receive more than twice as much for their coffee as a part of the CAPULIN EFFORT!

Further, we encourage folks to come and visit and see for themselves, 'how and where' their coffee is produced, while there is still any 'NATURAL JUNGLE' left to see.

Then PLEASE, join us in the CAPULIN EFFORT

Yes! You can help do something about preserving the little natural environment we have to pass on to all of our relations. You can help create an opportunity for gainful employment for third world victims of economic exploitation and enjoy a wonderful, natural cup of coffee provided by hand crafting, 100% fully mature, Arabica coffee cherries at the same time.

We are frequently asked about our roast profiles. "Which is the best?"

   CAPULIN'S CLASSIC ROASTS:

1. · Continental ~ a light roast ~ the original Fruit Wine flavor of coffee.
2. · Vienna ~ a medium roast ~ providing ample Fruit Wine flavor, only slightly masked with a medium roasted flavor.
3. · French ~ a dark roast ~ almost completely covering the fruit flavor of CAPULIN, ‘but not quite.
   It is slightly similar to the roasted taste that most coffee drinkers have become accustomed to, without the bitterness.
   Most coffee companies use a dark roast in order to mask or 'hide' the lack of the natural, sweet fruit sugars and flavor oils that have been lost in their washed coffee products.
4. · Midday Magic ~ a roast as black as a raven, yet smooth as glass ~ an incredible espresso or Turkish coffee, but still wonderfully smooth--for the folks that like the roasted flavor of coffee without the bitterness.
5. · Mocha ~ our only flavored roast ~ Organic cocoa oil, vanilla oil and coconut oil, basted on our light Continental roast ~ AWESOME but delicate Cocoa Flavor
   PLEASE Note: Due to dramatic increases in the associated costs of production and the oils used for Mocha, there is an additional charge of $1.00 per pound.

   CAPULIN’S AVAILABLE BLENDS:

6. · Peaceful Rainbow Blend ~ combines our four basic roasts ~ plus one part of Mocha, all blended into one amazing package of delicious coffee.
   (For breakfast or dessert, there is no taste in the coffee industry to match it!)
7. · Yin/Yang Breakfast Blend ~ is an incredible balance of our light Continental and our dark French ~ a highly stimulating, low-acid way to start your day, balanced!
8. · Middle-of-the-Roader's Blend ~ a delightful 3-way mixture of our Dark French roast, Mellow Vienna roast, and Light Continental. (For those times you want it all!)
