  „The Fair Trade certification means something because it is a third party, not for profit organization making the certification. The most common organization in the US is Transfair USA.

  „According to TransFair USA, the Fair Trade certification improves farmers' economic stability by encouraging buyers to extend financial credit to farmer cooperatives and to develop long-term relationships. Starbucks Fair Trade Certified coffee is a dynamic blend of washed Arabica coffees with a flavor profile similar to Latin American coffees — a light to medium coffee with a soft acidity. "We are very excited about Hyatt's support of Commitment to Origins coffees," said John Culver, vice president and general manager of Foodservice for Starbucks. "By offering Starbucks Shade Grown Mexico and Fair Trade Certified coffees we are building upon our commitment to offer high quality products to Hyatt's guests.""The addition of Starbucks Commitment to Origins coffees is an invitation for Hyatt guests to help support the sustainability of coffee farming families around the globe, while enjoying the highest quality coffees," said Sue Mecklenburg, vice president of Business Practices for Starbucks.“
