Coffee is one of the world’s favorite beverages, yet most is not organically produced. Many specialty roasters are making great strides towards encouraging sustainable farming practices for their farmers while offering information on their websites regarding production methods of their beans – in some cases even providing consumers with options to purchase Fair Trade and Organic green coffee beans!

Organic coffee purchases are often made for health and environmental considerations. Although most experts concur that any chemicals present on non-organic coffee will dissipate in the roasting process, some consumers choose to make an extra financial commitment by choosing organic. Furthermore, higher prices on FTO and organic varieties allow farmers to invest their earnings into improved equipment and more productive crops.

Our green coffee is organic and Fair Trade Organization-certified, meaning it was grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, then graded by an independent certifier to assure you of high-quality home roasting beans from growers who received fair compensation and treated with respect. The certification also serves as your guarantee that this coffee was produced responsibly.

Our trading partners in Peru supply us with several organic coffees, such as Cafe Femenino which is both organic and female-owned (FTO). This group of women have empowered themselves within an otherwise male-dominated industry by breaking away from traditional cooperatives to form their own organization and thus gain economic independence as well as voice within their community.

Other organic options include Ethiopian Organic Yergacheffe, an excellent way to start the day right. Its flavor profile features sweet chocolate, floral and citrus notes for an exhilarating start to each day.

Organic green coffee from Colombian and Costa Rica trading partners can also be found here, produced at altitudes over 4,300 feet and washed and sun-dried to create crisp flavors with clean aromas.
