  „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.“

  „Fair Trade is designed to counter these trends by paying producers a fair price, ensuring that they work under conditions worthy of their human dignity, encouraging ecologically sustainable production techniques, and by connecting us directly with the producers overseas who create the items we consume here in the United States. But Fair Trade is still a miniscule part of the world trading system—the Fair Trade Federation estimates Fair Trade's global market share at one one-hundredth of one percent! Lasting solutions to economic injustice require changing the rules that govern international trade so that the system works for the world's poor.“

  „Unfortunately, their coffee starts at $11.15/lb.plus shipping, but they have some very nice articles on shade-grown coffee, the recent turmoil in coffee prices, flavored coffee, sustainable growth, decaffeination, etc. Remember that these are editorials, and many in the coffee business would have valid criticism of them. But I think its good that roasters hold strong opinions about the politics of their trade.“
