  „"Seattle's Best Coffee is deeply committed to working responsibly with people in coffee growing regions and the environmental benefits of shade-grown coffee are also just as important to us," Schickler says. "Seattle's Best Coffee's customers will benefit by tasting the exceptional flavor of shade grown organic coffee while contributing to a better environment." TransFair USA, a non-profit monitoring agency, is the only organization providing independent, third-party certification of Fair Trade Certified products in the U.S. TransFair promotes mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and coffee companies, and educates consumers about international trade and economic development. Fair trade offers farmers fair prices, direct trade, and access to credit. Through fair trade, small family farmers are able to provide basic healthcare and improved nutrition for their families, keep their children in school, re-invest in their farms and communities, and practice environmentally responsible farming methods.“

  „"With today's coffee prices dipping to their lowest level in more than 7 years, thousands of coffee farmers are losing their farms this year. By supporting Fair Trade Certified coffee, Seattle consumers, roasters, and retailers are ensuring that small family farmers are able to feed their families, keep their children in school, build community health clinics, and safeguard the environment for future generations." While world leaders remained deadlocked over socially responsible trade practices at recent meetings in Quebec, Seattle consumers and coffee companies have been forging ahead with support for Fair Trade Certified, organic, and shade-grown coffee. Seattle-based industry giants like Starbucks, Tully's, and the Seattle Coffee Company now offer Fair Trade Certified coffee brands as one way to support the family farmers they depend on for the highest quality coffee -- and to keep their discerning consumers satisfied. In a city famed for its specialty coffee and its socially conscious consumers, public support in Seattle has been critical to the success of Fair Trade and other sustainable coffees.“
