Hi Lynette. Shade Grown certification is typically contained to North & South American coffee producing countries. The certification body is the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Centre, which measures the shade on the farms. The theory is that more shade equals greater numbers of taller trees that provide habitat to migrating birds. Bolivian or Peruvian coffee are good choices that are soft on the palate, but if you are looking for a stronger body in your coffee (which Sumatran coffees are known for), then opt for a Nicaraguan (smokey notes) or Guatemalan Highland (nutty notes).
