The Story

A lovely blend named in celebration of Cowles Bog, a wetland in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore which hosts wonderfully diverse plant populations. Five miles of hiking trails give visitors a view of interdunal ponds, marshes, forested dunes, black oak savanna, stand of northern white cedars, and a pristine beach. This area was named in honor of Dr. Henry Cowles, a professor at the University of Chicago whose studies of plant succession among the Indiana Dunes helped develop ecology as a science and brought international attention to the area which led to efforts to preserve the Indiana Dunes. This blend celebrates both a father of ecology and the wonderful wetlands that bear his name.
