  „The company buys organic coffee for about $1.40 a pound directly from farmers' coops in Mexico, Guatemala, and Ethiopia. Then Peace Coffee turns around and sells it to American consumers at high-end markets and natural food stores in resealable bags that feature the company's logo -- a mandala-like turtle shell based on the mythological symbol for the union between the earth and spirit worlds. The prices the company pays farmers are set according to international Fair Trade standards, which guarantee the farmers a minimum rate of at least $1.26 per pound (www.fairtradeffederation). That's nearly three times as much money as they would ordinarily get from exploitative middlemen known as coyotes, whom many were previously forced to rely upon to get their crops to the big companies that ultimately market coffee to American consumers.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „Given the almost impeccable credentials of Kona coffee -- heirloom trees, impeccable fastidious wet-processing, small farmers passionate about their crop (many of whom refuse to use chemicals) -- it may sound odd that Kona is, along with Jamaica Blue Mountain, the origin coffee professionals most love to criticize. The main reason, of course, is price weighed against perceived value. Forced to spend unprecedented prices to get the Kona that their palm-tree-and-sand-smitten customers demand, roasters and dealers feel blackmailed by the Kona myth.“
