LOS ANGELES, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marley Coffee (OTCBB: JAMN.OB), a sustainably-grown, ethically-farmed and artisan-roasted gourmet coffee, today announced the company's sponsorship of the 7th Annual Lightning in a Bottle Festival, set for May 24-28, to be held at Oak Canyon Ranch, in Silverado, California.

Lightning in a Bottle is a celebration of art, music, performance, sustainability and life, held every Memorial Day Weekend in Silverado, California. The event, which started as a forest party more than a decade ago, hosts musical talents, performance artists, live painting, workshops in sustainability and other subjects, in a family- and child-friendly environment, where attendees from all walks of life can find a way to connect with others as well as themselves.

"We are excited to sponsor Lightning in a Bottle this year, as they share the same passions and commitments to sustainable living as Marley Coffee," said Rohan Marley, chairman, Marley Coffee. "We are encouraged by the attendees' drive towards creating a better planet that can endure for generations to come, and are glad to encourage and support them."

"We're looking forward to sharing our mission with like-minded attendees at Lightning in a Bottle," said Brent Toevs, CEO, Marley Coffee. "We will give people the chance to try our delicious coffee, share our story, and engage consumers in conversations that will bring them into our growing Marley Coffee movement."
