  „Quite literally, no coffee is grown in full sun in India. It's all grown in shade, usually massive shade, two tiers of it. Black pepper vines wrap their lavish way up the trunks of the shade trees.

  „The line, called Earth Fare Trade, features shade-grown, Organic and Fair Trade ™ Certified coffees from select farms around the world. Growing coffee under shade forces coffee to mature more slowly, allowing richer and more complex flavors to develop, and helps protect and preserve natural rainforests and indigenous plants and animals.  Producing coffee organically ensures that no harmful pesticides or poisonous chemicals are used, which can be hazardous for the environment and the workers who are in direct contact with the chemicals.“

  „SHADE-GROWN: Left to nature, coffee bushes grow under a canopy of shade trees in tropical forests.

  „Shade-grown coffee has enjoyed the spotlight only sporadically in certain parts of the United States. One of the main reasons is that shade lacks a worldwide champion like the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) or Fair Trade Labeling Organizations International (FLO), both of which have created widely accepted and enforceable definitions and standards for their certification systems.“
