CoffeeGeek - Coffee: General Discussion, Fair Trade Coffee (#)

„i'll agree mostly with what jim said, except to say that his point number 4 obviously varies with the level of the new york 'c' market. for example, a few months ago when the futures mkt was in the mid-70s the fairtrade guaranteed price of $1.26 was quite a hefty premium. now that the mkt is closer to $1.00 it's not such a bonus anymore.“

„“There are several key differences between the Tea Sourcing Partnership and Fairtrade,” explains Fiona Hunter. “Our scheme is independent, monitored by expert third party auditors, and it has been tailor-made for the tea trade by the tea trade.

„We had an unexpected surprise from a Brazilian Organic/FairTrade sample that arrived lately. The cup is subtly fruited with Merlot wineyness, deep and spicy. It's a coffee that, if it had been submitted to the auction committee, definitely would have placed among the winners.“
