Organic Fair Trade Coffee Is Good for the Planet

Coffee! The eye-opening elixir. Coffee! Black, drinkable, the energizing drink that livens our lives. Coffee! A long history from an exotic unknown berry to massive commodity production, back to exotic again. And what a past this bitter black beverage has had. The dancing goats, to high-volume commodity sales, to the near extinction of the finest of quality coffee beans, the art of growing and handling coffee berries has never died. It has only been altered though out time.

Coffee! The eye-opening elixir. Coffee! Black, drinkable, the energizing drink that livens our lives. Coffee! A long history from an exotic unknown berry to massive commodity production, back to exotic again. One must hand it to that little coffee shop from Seattle that now encompasses the globe. They sure did take the world by storm. In one fell swoop that little coffee company took a commodity beverage and cast it back into the exotic drinkable realm where it was born as well as distorting the beauty of specialty gourmet coffee for future generations. 

What is now perceived as a quality coffee bean has traveled back to the art of commodity coffee.

The competition on the street corner for a drinkable cup of coffee has become fierce. Each brewer says that their brew is the "perfect cup of coffee". However, they all grab from the same commodity-level stocks. Of course, without these commodity-grown stocks coffee would be in greatly diminished supply. Yes, coffee is in diminished supply. That is the supply of good quality coffee beans had almost vanished over the last couple of decades as corner boutiques converted to the ravishing corner coffee shop.

There is a change! Finally, there is a change in the air. The very small boutique coffee shop and coffee roaster are finally allowed the glory of finding high-quality coffee beans once again. Small farm and niche green coffee beans are now becoming available to the fair trade coffee market. Quality organic coffee is being selectively grown just for small independent coffee roasting operations.

Finally, we have coffee drinkers who care more and more about the people of the Earth and the planet that we live on. We now have coffee drinkers who care about the survival of coffee farmers and the lands on which the coffee bean is grown. There are specialty coffee drinkers who cherish the survival and health of our mother earth.

Sustainable Organic Fair Trade Coffee is finally becoming a household request. Fairtrade is good for the people. Organic coffee is healthier for you as well as giving health back to our planet.
