Most people may not give much thought to how their morning cup of coffee is produced and raised; but those who opt for organic varieties know it’s an investment both for our health and planet’s wellbeing.

Organic coffee provides us with many benefits, one being its lack of toxic chemicals in our brew. Chemicals used in conventional farming techniques may pass from beans and plants directly onto people handling them – as well as into the environment – whereas organic farming only utilizes naturally-occurring substances as fertilizers or pest control measures.

Organic coffee also benefits the environment by leaving behind less carbon pollution than conventional beans do. Conventional plantations-grown coffee relies heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides for production, creating significant levels of pollution in its wake. Organic varieties on shaded farms use an eco-friendly land management model; in addition to reducing pollution they also sequester carbon out of the atmosphere while supporting natural ecosystem restoration processes.

Organic coffee supports better working conditions for farmers who produce it, with those treated well and given living wages tending to produce higher-quality products. Although organic is more expensive than its non-organic counterpart, it remains an economical choice that supports fair working conditions for producers.

Organic coffee is better for us in many ways. The berries that comprise our favorite beverage contain antioxidants with numerous health benefits. One study revealed that organic light and medium roasts contained more of one type of antioxidant compared to their conventionally grown counterparts – though its exact mechanisms remain unknown, these antioxidants certainly aid our wellbeing, so drinking more could only benefit!

When purchasing organic coffee, be sure to look for brands bearing the Fair Trade Certified logo. Fair Trade certification aims to ensure fair prices for farmers and workers while simultaneously protecting environmental and social sustainability. While it may be possible to find both types of beans together in one brand, doing your research before selecting is best way.
