Organic food and drink is increasingly popular, but is it worth paying more for organic products? That depends on your priorities and product in question. When purchasing coffee for instance, it’s important to remember that while we don’t consume the fruit of the coffee tree (cherries), we do consume its beans that reside inside their inner husk; any chemicals sprayed on their outer skin could potentially enter your system when drinking from that cup of joe; however when roasting these beans at high temperatures any residual chemicals are burned off completely.

When purchasing organic coffee, chances are it has also been fair trade certified, which ensures that farmers and workers who grow and harvest your beans get paid fairly to ensure exploitation does not occur and support community development while providing you with high-quality brew.

Organic farms are beneficial to the environment as well, using less chemical pesticides and greenhouse gas emissions than conventional ones, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions while sequestering carbon from climate change.

Organic coffee farms also benefit from shade trees providing habitats for native species while improving soil fertility and regional ecosystems. This helps these farms remain more resistant to changing weather patterns that have resulted in deforestation of forests worldwide; Equal Exchange has even partnered with Central American coffee co-ops who are working toward restoring natural forested landscapes while producing organic coffee.

Organic single origin whole bean coffee may cost twice as much, but it could be well worth your while if supporting fair trade standards and healthy ecosystems is important to you. The best way to gauge if organic coffee suits you is by trying it first and seeing how it tastes for yourself.

Many believe organic coffee to be more healthful for you because it does not contain synthetic chemicals or pesticides that could pose risks if consumed over time. Selecting single origin organic beans guarantees you will experience maximum flavorful and quality beans when choosing this option.
