The proceeds from each of the 50 12-oz bags of Sounders Fútbol Club coffee will go towards new jerseys for the Sounders team.

They are constantly experimenting to produce the best green coffee in the world and have devoted countless hours and resources to developing an exceptional level of quality while remaining committed to sustainability.
