The Secret Life of Fairtrade Coffee

November 7th, 2009 by keen bean

If you have ever wondered about the life your much-loved fairtrade coffee leads prior to your receipt of it, then you may want to read the book Organic Coffee. The text describes how the process evolved, and how it functions presently. This includes, in detail, the involvement of the small farmer who produces your coffee in a place far far away. Then how it makes its way from the farmer abroad, to the fairtade coffee supplier, and ultimately the online coffee shop.

There is a great deal more covered in the hundred plus pages that will inform, and touch you. The vantage point of the author, Maria Elena Martínez-Torres, is one that provides an intimate analysis of the process and its facets. While it is chocked full of information, it is presented in a manner that is not overbearing. It should hold your attention, and increase your knowledge without a doubt.
