In addition to Community Development Funds, the #FairTrade model supports coffee growers facing low market prices through the Fair Trade Minimum Price. Producers who sell their coffee on fair trade terms receive at minimum $1.40 per pound for conventional coffee, $1.70 for organic. This serves as an important safety net when the commercial market price dips too low, like it is now.

Ever wonder why coffee packaging lists the altitude at which the beans were grown? Turns out, altitude has a major impact on flavor. Beans grown at low altitudes are generally mild with a simple, unassuming taste, while beans grown at higher altitudes often have greater concentrations of sugars, which produce sweeter, more nuanced flavors. Just something to percolate on as you plan your next cup of Fair Trade Certified coffee.
