Fair Trade Coffee Delivery

Most Americans have a fondness for coffee. In fact, the National Coffee Association found that coffee drink consumption out ranked soda’s by 10 points. In addition, over half of the population consumes tea on a daily basis. There’s no doubt that people love to get their daily caffeine, but many people don’t consider the source of where their coffees and teas come from. There are are differences in the way that these products are processed and it is important to know the source and method in which they are produced.

Coffee is grown in countries that have lax regulations on pest control and pesticides. There are also many companies that support unfair practices towards farmers. Many farmers are forced to take low pay for their products who are purchased from huge buyers. These buyers in-turn create an environment for farmers where they have to produce their products as inexpensively as possible in order to receive a small profit. Unfortunately, teas aren’t spared from the practice of mass pesticide use either. Teas have been found to contain pesticides including  DDT, Hexane, HCH, Dicofol, Fenvalerate, Methamidophos and Acephate. India and China, the 2 top producers and exporters of tea in the world, have been found to have pesticides in some of the most common brands consumed by the public, including Lipton.

With few regulations, a high demand, and environmental impact hanging in the balance, it’s easy to see how important it is to seek out responsibly produced products. Nature’s Garden Delivered has a variety of organically grown coffees and teas. In addition, their coffee boasts two more important certifications. Their Cafe Campesino coffee is rainforest alliance and fair trade certified. This means that the coffee is grown below the ancient rainforest trees which provide a habitat for many animals. It also means that the farmers who produce the products are compensated fairly for their efforts. Nature’s Garden makes it easy to enjoy organic, local produce and other organic goodies that are sustainable and responsibly produced.
