Choose 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.

Organic coffee grows in natural shade of trees, and instead of using chemicals, farmers use inner-planting for attracting birds. This traditional technique is quite successful, because those birds actually protect the crops, eating different pests. Because no chemical were used, the soil stays healthy and unpolluted, and you get perfectly healthy, organically grown foods.

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.

Maybe these old, traditional ways cannot provide higher yield, but the quality of these foods is undeniable. These small farmers have to compete with big manufacturers, and they don't have any chance in this battle. That's why it is so important to help them, to make sure they will survive and continue producing high quality, natural foods.

The problem with using chemicals in this particular area of food production is larger than it looks. Different coffee varieties are grown on higher lands. Chemicals get into soil and into water. Wind spreads those chemicals on surrounding lands as well. When it rains, all these toxic substances will be washed down on lower areas. If this continues, one day there will be no unpolluted land anywhere.

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.
