Why Fair Trade Coffee Really Matters
Fair trade coffee isn’t just a label — it’s a commitment. It ensures farmers get paid fairly, communities thrive, and the environment is protected. Grounds for Change’s Fair for Life certified single origin coffees support small-scale farmers through ethical, sustainable trade. So, every cup you sip isn’t just delicious — it’s making a global impact. That daily brew? It’s more powerful than you think.
Understanding Single Origin Coffee
Single origin coffee means the beans come from one coffee growing cooperative in a single country. Unlike blends, which mix beans from different places to create a specific flavor, single origin coffees highlight the unique taste of their location — the terroir. It’s like tasting the story of that region in every sip. But is single origin better? Not really. It’s just different. Blends and single origins each have their own charm and flavor profiles.
