We chose Cafe Campesino for a few reasons. Their commitment to fair trade, their personal relationship with the organic-certified farmers who ensure a shade grown product, and the unbelievably great tasting coffee which is the end result.
The fact that there are no pesticides or chemicals used in the growing process makes for a fantastic cup of coffee or as Cafe Campesino says great coffee with conscience. Fair trade eliminates all the middlemen passing on more profits for the farmers so that they can earn a living wage.
Cafe Campesino is a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, a fair trade coffee importing cooperative. Countries that they currently work with are Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, East Timor, Sumatra and Ethiopia. The best part is, we place our order, the beans are roasted that day and shipped right out to us. So our coffee is always fresh roasted and there is no better way to drink it.
