You may ask why is it so important to buy organic coffee? Well, it tastes better than conventional coffee and is free from chemical-treated food items, pesticides and herbicides. Organic coffee is grown in the shade, which limits deforestation to make room for vast coffee fields. Not only is organic coffee ideal for the environment, its also tastes deliciously pure.
You may be wondering: What is fair trade coffee? Fair Trade is a certification which ensures that small-farmers and laborers are guaranteed a price above that of the conventional market. Fair Trade Certified coffee is not necessarily organic, but it does not use any genetically modified organisms and extremely toxic pesticides. You can tell that a brand of coffee is Fair Trade Certified by looking for the Fair Trade label on the container. Explore other types of coffee by clicking on a tab in the menu to the left.
