Always Fair Trade

Long-term contracts with international buyers ensure that Fair Trade farmers receive consistency in pricing and purchasing which allows them to reinvest money into the quality of their crop as well as produce health care and education to the farmer's family (who typically work the farms).

Fair Trade organizations educate and encourage farmers to farm in environment friendly practices, which not only improves the local environment, but also makes for a better product.

Coffee Facts

A single coffee plant produces approximately 2,000 coffee cherries per year. This equals about 4,000 coffee beans a year, or about one pound of roasted coffee. It takes up to three years for a coffee plant to mature and become cherry-producing. As a minimum, it takes a single plant four years after it is planted to produce one pound of roasted coffee. Incredible!

It is estimated that coffee is directly linked to the welfare of some 20,000,000 persons around the world whose livelihood depends on this seemingly ubiquitous food product.

The average cup of coffee contains 80-150 milligrams of caffeine. Espresso has a higher concentration per oz of caffeine than regular coffee, but a standard serving is typically 1.5 to 2 ounces and so this makes the dose of caffeine about the same as a regular cup of black coffee.
