CoffeeGeek - Sustainable Harvest Coffee Prepares Latin American Growers for Worst (#)

  „ “The new FDA laws require foreign suppliers to find a US Agent that will represent them and serve as the communications link to the FDA,” says Griswold.  “Every single coffee facility and mill that handles our coffee beans must be registered, and that is a great number of supplier groups from the nine countries where we buy our organic specialty coffees.“

CoffeeGeek - The Basics of Ethical Coffees

  „The growers form into cooperatives and become Fair Trade certified by Transfair. Coffee importers and distributors can also become certified, which means they agree to pay to use the logo, pay the Fair Trade price, and support outreach. The growers are guaranteed to receive $1.26 per pound of coffee ($1.41 for organic), or $.05 over current market price. This system seems to be working -- Transfair has many accounts of growers making enough profit to upgrade their equipment and processes.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee Awakenings

  „Most recently, I was able to represent Fresh Cup at the Northwest Barista Jam in Seattle. As well as being an event sponsor, our magazine needed an arsenal of photos, as a new column is debuting in our April issue, written by and for barista, called 9 Bars. As much as I love to take photos, and was more than excited to volunteer for the task, I was even more excited just to be there, in the midst of it all, watching and learning.“
