Since its inception in 2005, White Heron has expanded from an organic tea wholesaler to a full cafe with organic coffee roasted on site, with freshly made baked goods and more. Each year, their solar array will generate roughly 41,838 kilowatt-hours (kWhs) of electricity, offsetting the equivalent of driving over 76,315 miles in a gas-powered car.

Sourcing their energy from the sun supercharges their already organic and healthy fare with an extra jolt of sustainability.
