food_coffee_14.jpgYou can get a taste of the high desert in your morning cup with this Pinon Coffee. The Pinon nut brings life to the New Mexico Pinon Coffee Company of Albuquerque. They use a roasting combination that includes a five-bean blend of high-altitude Arabica coffee along with bushels of Pinon nuts. Finding the nuts is unpredictable (pinon trees give good harvests only every 7 years or so), they are harvested each fall by hand (mostly by freelance Navajo pickers).

It sounds tasty. But how is it efficient?

Its efficient in that it’s organic, and supports the local people who harvest it in New Mexico.

That’s what I was missing — the product page doesn’t mention whether or not the coffee is organic, nor does it have anything else to say about how the coffee is farmed.
