View topic - I found a great new coffee company online!!! - Coffee Forum (#)

„I have found an exciting and new company out of California that roasts your orders individually and ships them quickly for freshness! The coffee is all 100% fair trade (no fair trade logo because the logo only means at least 2% fair traded). This premium product is available single bean, shade grown, etc, and it all comes from coffee farms around the world that have a fair trade agreement with the company, called CoffeeFair. I have only tried their 5/4 blend, but that alone is enough for me to be a customer for life.“

„Not everyone is greeting the Fair Trade label with open arms. Several American coffee importers recently pulled out of Fair Trade, citing TransFair's "corporate friendly" policies that allow large companies to use the Fair Trade logo in their marketing even if only a small amount of the company's overall purchases are Fair Trade certified.“

„Another possible area of concern with fair trade coffee is the requirements a company must fulfill in order to sport the fair trade logo. The actual percentage bought in order to receive the logo "can be a very small percentage," says Chauvin, adding that including minimal percentages in the buyer's contract are currently being discussed.“

Global Exchange : Java for Justice (#)

„The fair trade system, formalized in the United States in 1999 but originating in Europe, seeks to guarantee small farmers a minimum "living wage" for their goods. A nonprofit organization, the Oakland-based TransFair USA, monitors the use of the fair trade logo, which is its assurance that the farmers got their due.“
