Internship company description

This is a social enterprise that brings you the finest in natural products. The company takes great care in selecting the purest natural ingredients and takes great care in quality of their products to give their customers a healthier alternative. Consuming natural foods has wide ranging benefits for health—switching to organic and natural foods is an easy way to minimize the toxins our bodies have to cope with in the modern world.

They are also committed to giving back to our community. The company donates a portion of profits to their non-profit partner, the Yunnan Mountain Heritage Foundation, to support projects in poverty alleviation, cultural preservation and community service in mountainous Yunnan province. They provide income generation by buying at fair trade prices and also offer new skills and training to local farmers. They encourage organic farming in every way possible and choose products with minimal impact on local ecology.

Their products range from gourmet coffee and honey to natural cosmetics. The premier grade coffee is grown by a cooperative of farmers in the pristine environment at altitudes of 3000 to 4000 feet above sea level. Their honey is made by bees from wildflowers with strong health benefits. The cosmetics line uses fresh natural ingredients with no synthetics, additives or preservatives. All of their products use organic growing methods, which are 100% natural.
This company puts quality first. Taste, purity, careful cultivation, protecting our environment and supporting their farmers are all crucial parts of this quality.
