Advantages Of Organic Fair Trade Coffee

By Paul Fox


When you choose fair trade labeled products, this really is a win-win situation. You can help farmers to hold on to their land and you get pure, organically grown products. The same thing is with organic fair trade coffee. While receiving higher quality, you also improve the lives of an entire community, and this really is a good feeling. Not to mention the fact that this coffee is far tastier.

Most small farmers usually earn only a small percentage of profit. There are so many middlemen in between ready to take the majority of their income. The system of a fair trade is different. It connects farmers directly with importers of their goods, and, avoiding middlemen, making sure those farmers get a fair share. This system makes it possible for those farmers to survive and continue growing organic foods.

Different pests attack coffee plants. To protect them, large manufacturers use all kinds of chemicals. Little farmers that use traditional methods don't use any chemicals. Thanks to inner planting, the birds are taking care of those pests, while planting in shade of trees ensures high quality of their beans. The water and soil stay unpolluted, and their product is of much higher quality.

As with any other organic food, the taste is better, layered, pure and intense. It is better not only when it comes to your taste buds, but also when it comes to your health. And the best thing is that you can really enjoy not only in this great taste, but also in the fact that you are doing something good not only for those farmers, but also for the planet you call your home.

Traditional ways of planting coffee give lower yield, but significantly higher quality. Small producers therefore can not compete with the big ones, so fair trade policy is the only way to ensure their survival. Sustainable development programs have already proven to be very effective, and should therefore be supported, as they are mutually beneficial.

Given that quality coffee varieties are best at higher altitudes, the use of chemicals has far-reaching consequences. These chemicals pollute soil and groundwater, and winds and rain spread them to the wider area. If such practice continues, soon there will be no unpolluted soil or clean water in any part of the planet. And without it, it won't be any organic foods either.

Coffee is probably the most popular morning beverage ever. For most people, it would be hard to imagine starting a day without it. This lovely aroma wakes up your senses, helps you preparing yourself for a new day. You certainly deserve to have a cup of incredibly tasty, pure organic drink in any time of your day. Pure Arabica, soft and creamy, with a hint of a caramel, this can really boost up your mind.

There are so many ways for preparing your favorite drink. Espresso can be simple, or combined with milk or cream, or spiced with cinnamon. Some like it hot, some like it cold. In any case, supporting those small farmers is a good idea. This will ensure that your children and your grandchildren will have a chance to enjoy in this wonderful taste as well.
