Fair Trade Coffee

Fair Trade Coffee

Fair Trade coffee is the first commodity to be set up with an independent monitor. This monitor makes sure the Fair Trade agreement is adhered to, supporting the small farmers growing coffee around the world. The Fair Trade agreement, whether it is for coffee, espresso, chocolate, or any other number of items, creates a fair partnership between consumers and the producers of item. The Fair Trade movement is to ensure that small farmers and craftsmen get a fair price for their work… whether it is for a crafted item or for a harvest. In the case of Fair Trade coffee, it is the coffee farmers who get a boost from the agreement.

 

The Fair Trade coffee farmers are grouped into cooperatives around the world. The farmers receive a living wage credit at a fair price; and long lasting relationships with the buyers. Fair Trade payments are invested in education, health care, economic independence and environmental care. Fair Trade certified coffee is the first product to use this independent monitoring system. The system ensures that the coffee was produced under fair labour conditions for the workers. This is very important, as coffee production is very laborious work for all concerned.

 

Why is Fair Trade Certified Coffee so important? More and more people around the world are caring about how their products are produced. Is the product good for the earth? Are the workers treated well and paid sufficiently for their time? As more consumers learn of this trend, they are jumping on the bandwagon to purchase more Fair Trade products such Fair Trade coffee and espresso.

 

To conclude, many companies have signed on to offer Fair Trade coffee in San Francisco. These companies represent over 7,000 retail shops across the world. Buying Fair Trade coffee will even help farmers and their families all around the globe to break out of this cycle and live a better lifestyle.

The Economics of Fair Trade Coffee: For Whose Benefit? $100.37 This book is intended for all readers interested in a critical assessment of fair trade. How much does fair trade contribute to development? Does consumer awareness make any difference at all? Or are supermarkets selling fair trade coffee just cleanwashing their reputation in the fair trade business? These are some of the key questions examined in this book. I start by providing a short description of the coffee market and some of its major trends. I then turn to the origin and structure of the fair trade movement. The pricing scheme of Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) is compared to those of other private labeling initiatives. The last part examines benefits generated for participants on the supply and demand side. Revenues accruing to coffee producers in the South and fair trade organizations in the Western world are estimated. Finally, an original empirical strategy is proposed to see whether consumer awareness is making any difference and/or if supermarkets are cleanwashing their reputation in the fair trade business. Data from 13 European countries is used in two different econometric models (OLS and treatment regression model).

Fair Trade and Social Justice $75 By 2008, total Fair Trade purchases in the developed world reached nearly $3 billion, a five-fold increase in four years. Consumers pay a “fair price” for Fair Trade items, which are meant to generate greater earnings for family farmers, cover the costs of production, and support socially just and environmentally sound practices. Yet constrained by existing markets and the entities that dominate them, Fair Trade often delivers material improvements for producers that are much more modest than the profound social transformations the movement claims to support. There has been scant real-world assessment of Fair Trade’s effectiveness. Drawing upon fine-grained anthropological studies of a variety of regions and commodity systems including Darjeeling tea, coffee, crafts, and cut flowers, the chapters in Fair Trade and Social Justice represent the first works to use ethnographic case studies to assess whether the Fair Trade Movement is actually achieving its goals.

Colombian Fair Trade Select Whole Bean Coffee 10 oz: K $10.84 Our Colombian Fair Trade Select is a sunny, warming cup with aromas that recall gramma’s homemade apricot jam. A versatile coffee that performs well in auto-drip brewers, or manual-drip (pour-over filter cone or Chemex). Exceptional in a coffee press and vacuum pot. Not recommended for single-origin espresso. Tastes like a late-summer Saturday morning. Our Fair Trade Colombian is a sunny, warming cup with aromas that recall gramma’s homemade apricot jam. In the cup, look for lime-citrus brightness and flavors of green apples and sun-plumped raisins. Its finish shimmers with sweet notes of grape and walnut. We source coffees for our Colombian Fair Trade Select from cooperatives high in the mountains of Southwestern Colombia. Prominent among these is the Cooperative Association of Southern Cauca (COSURCA). As if growing exceptional coffee weren’t challenge enough, farmer members of COSURCA have faced a number of threats to their livelihood, such as the ever-present threat from armed extremists groups who would have their land for illegal coca and poppy production. Even in the face of such opposition, COSURCA farmers have themselves eradicated more than 500 acres of coca production, destroyed 17,000 coca plants, and ended cultivation of illegal crops on another 1800 acres… steps that were possible only with the additional revenue that Fair Trade coffee sales provided.

Kenya Highland Cooperatives, Fair Trade Powder Coffee 10 oz: K $10.84 Our Fair Trade Kenyan fairly bursts with big, grapefruit-toned brightness and black raspberry and burgundy flavors. A sunny day on the Savanna! The adventure begins the moment you release its distinctive jasmine and coffee-flower fragrance. Our Fair Trade Kenyan fairly bursts with big, grapefruit-toned brightness and black raspberry and burgundy flavors. Look for notes of brown sugar, bergamot and black tea in its long, rewarding finish. Rating: 96 Points (out of 100) The aroma is very deep and sweet-toned with lush references to banana, coconut, dusk flowers. In the cup the acidity is extraordinarily rich and round-toned, the mouthfeel supple, the nuance opulent with coconut, red wine, chocolate and floral notes. Rich, long, flavor-saturated finish. — Kenneth Davids, CoffeeReview, October, 2007 Performs well in auto-drip brewers, or manual-drip (pour-over filter cone or Chemex). Exceptional in a coffee press and vacuum pot. Makes an intriguing single-origin espresso. While Kenyan coffee has long been one of the most sought after origins in the world, rules within the Kenyan auction system made it impossible to achieve the transparency that Fair Trade Certification requires. Those rules were relaxed only months ago, and now the very first of what we hope will be a great many Fair Trade Certified Kenyan coffees has reached our shores. The Rumukia Farmers Cooperative Society is one of those newly-certified grower groups. Situated in the Nyeri district, among the rich, red, volcanic foothills of Mt. Kenya in eastern Kenya, the region enjoys a unique micro-climate — a temperate zone with regular, seasonal rainfall. Even before being certified, the cooperative organized ”field days” to train its members in agricultural best practices, and offered credit services for education and medical emergencies. The cooperative is currently working to upgrade its drying tables, and improve its road network so that farmers can deliver coffee to the mills more efficiently. My New Favorite By Jim from Fredericksburg, Virginia on 3/16/2008 Pros:High Quality, Good Value Best Uses:Start off my day Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I start off my day at the office with this great tasting coffee. It just doesn’t get any better than this. Have been purchasing Kona beans direct from the Islands but it just cost too much to drink everyday. I have also been brewing Kenya AA for many years but this coffee beats them both hands down.

Sumatran Lake Tawar Fair Trade Powder Coffee 10 oz: K $10.84 This tropical garden coffee’s fragrance offers notes of clove and cardamom. In the cup it expresses cedar and port wine, earth and moss. We savor its syrupy body, and its smoke and caramel finish. Deeply toned and mellow – like the peal of an ancient temple bell, or the thrum of the wind in the giant bamboo of Sumatra’s highlands. This tropical garden coffee’s fragrance offers notes of clove and cardamom. In the cup it expresses cedar and port wine, earth and moss. We savor its syrupy body, and its smoke and caramel finish. Rating: 89 Points (out of 100) Deep, roast-influenced aroma: gently scorched cedar, cardamom, orange. In the cup the softly pungent roast and earth tones turn toward a raisiny dark chocolate, with continued distinct orange references. The finish is round, resonant, and stays well on the rich side of a slight astringency. — Kenneth Davids, CoffeeReview, October, 2007 A versatile coffee that performs well in auto-drip brewers, or manual-drip (pour-over filter cone or Chemex) though we enjoy it most in a coffee press (Indonesian coffee just love to steep a little bit.) Makes a syrupy espresso. Beans from Sumatra have always been highly prized not only because of their full flavor, but also because of their distinct appearance. Sumatran coffee beans, when green, are often asymmetrical in shape and have a deep aquamarine tint. Beginning in the 18th Century when the popularity of Sumatran coffee rose significantly, the unique shape and hue helped European merchants recognize authentic Sumatran coffee beans. However, Sumatran coffee’s distinct appearance isn’t the only factor contributing to the coffee’s uniqueness. The unusual drying techniques employed by Sumatran coffee farmers also contribute to the coffee’s distinctiveness. These techniques involve an extended period of the coffee bean’s exposure to the pulp of the berry after the berry has been harvested—a process which is believed to produce deeper tones in the brewed coffee. While much of Sumatra’s coffee is grown today in the region of mighty Lake Toba – a huge volcanic crater lake in the center of the island – the majority of our coffee comes from a number of different fair trade coops around Lake Tawar in the northern reaches of Aceh province, the same land where coffee was first introduced here by colonists in the 18th century. One of our suppliers, the Gayo Organic Farmers Association, has started a project to bring safe drinking water to more than 1,500 people. The cooperative has also saved funds to help farmers with the reconstruction of their homes, many of which were destroyed in the war, and to aid in the construction of two new schools. This coffee has truly delightful qualities in its origin as well as in the cup. Good coffee! By CJ from Seymour, CT on 1/12/2008 Pros:Fair Trade, Bite, Dark Cons:Availability Best Uses:ALWAYS Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I had been meaning to order a bag of Green Mountain Sin

Is it better to keep coffee in bean form and grind it before consumption, or is it better to buy coffee in the ground form and keep it in a sealed container? A. Buying whole bean coffee and grinding it just before using it will keep it fresh longer than ground coffee because you are exposing less of the surface of the bean to the elements. You should store both whole bean and ground coffee in an airtight container. Q. What are the best ways to grind coffee beans? A. There are many excellent types of grinders on the market ranging from manual to electric. One of the least expensive and most common is the electric blade grinder.

Fair Trade & Organic Coffees Our Organic and Fair Trade beans are selected for their exquisite flavor and for the care and attention given to the fragile, mountainous places where they are born. Fair Trade (certified by TransFairUSA) has established price guarantees which ensure that the small-scale farmers who grow and process these beans receive a fair price for their efforts. This enables farmers to care for themselves, their families, and their communities while reinvesting in the care and quality of their coffee. With the exception of Rain Forest Nut, our Fair Trade coffees are organic (certified by QAI), and cultivated with natural gardening techniques like composting, and terracing. They are grown entirely without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. They are also almost always ‘’shade grown”—interspersed with other plants—to preserve vanishing wildlife habitat and discourage erosion. Coffee FAQ’s: Coffee Grinding and Storage Q. Is it better to keep coffee in bean form and grind it before consumption, or is it better to buy coffee in the ground form and keep it in a sealed container? A.

Blade grinders do have some drawbacks, specifically the grind is not as consistent, and the blade tends to heat or ”cook” the beans a bit. Next is the electric burr type grinder. Dial in the grind size, measure beans into a hopper and turn the grinder on. Two scribed discs literally crush the beans in a manner similar to the way wheat is ground in a flour mill. Manual grinders are also great because you can achieve

Sumatran Reserve Certified Organic Fair Trade Whole Bean Coffee 10 oz: K: K $10.84 Exotically lush, sweet and heavy-bodied, born in the mountains of Indonesia. This coffee is a true success story, for us, and for the people in and around Aceh Province, Sumatra. Sumatra is one of the world’s more exotic coffee destinations, peopled by folks of tremendous character… character they’ve demonstrated again and again by their enduring spirit and resourcefulness in the face of one calamitous natural disaster after another. That character can be read in the coffee, as well, which is richly aromatic, lush, hefty, loamy and distinctly tropical. This cup is round and smooth in body and offers a hint of chocolate, dark fruit and citrus. Overall Rating: 90 points (out of 100) Very rich aroma: tartly sweet, round-toned, with cherry- and orange-toned fruit. In the cup syrupy mouthfeel, sweet, with continued orangy fruit and a hint of moist leaves. —Kenneth Davids, CoffeeReview, May 2007 ”Deep and loamy… This coffee truly reflects terroir or a ”taste of place”. Heady and aromatic; with chocolate, vanilla and brown sugar tones that reflect Sumatra.” — Lindsey Bolger ”Partnering with our friends from ForesTrade in our home state of Vermont, we our proud to offer this special Fair Trade Organic Sumatran coffee. The improvements that the dedicated small family farmers of Aceh Province in Sumatra have made in their daily lives is proof that Fair Trade, peace and love can be the answer.” — Patty Vincent
