The growing and processing of coffee has a monumental impact on the environment. With increasingly warmer climates due to global warming, areas that were once the perfect spots for growing this crop are now too hot for proper cultivation. Farmers can move crops to higher altitudes that are cooler, of course. And while this is a friendly solution to the environment.

Our Ethical coffee supports strong farming communities. When you see our package with a Fairtrade seal , this means this organization is committed to the improvement of ecological, social and economic standards for coffee growing through purchasing directly from small farms. Moreover, Fairtrade supports farmers required to produce coffee in a way that protects the environment and growers. Also, you might find on our coffee package, U.S.D.A. Organic is among the most meaningful which the coffee beans within and the soil from which they came must be completely free from most pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Growers who desire this seal are careful to document their bean production from beginning to end and have their farms inspected annually to ensure standards are met. Our package with the labels of Bird-Friendly Habitat are certifiably grown in an environment that was both organic and as officially defined by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Farms need to protect the native trees and biodiversity that provide crucial nesting spots for birds and other wildlife. Rainforest Alliance Certified indicates that at least a portion of the coffee in a batch originates from farms that meet sustainability and biodiversity goals.
