„"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.“
