As a part of our efforts to encourage fairness and sustainability in the world's coffee growing regions, we are proud to add Fair Trade certification to the outstanding coffees shown at left.
When consumers see a product with the Fair Trade Certified label, they are guaranteed that farmers received a fair price and all of the other benefits of the Fair Trade system.
The principal criteria of Fair Trade certification are:
• Fair prices for farmers and decent working and living conditions for workers
• Direct trade with farmers, bypassing middlemen
• Free association of workers and co-ops, with structures for democratic decision-making
• Sustainable agricultural practices including restricted use of agrochemicals
