Reunion Island RI58551 Extra Bold Fair Trade and Organic French Roast Single Cup Coffee Pods, 16-count
Reunion Island is committed to promoting sustainable coffee farming. Our Fair Trade Organic French Roast is harvested from small family farms in Central and South America. This coffee is certified under both the Transfair and USDA Organic programs. This double certified coffee meets growing consumer demand for agricultural products that are produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. Best of all, this bold French Roast features the bold character that coffee lovers crave. Transfair is an international organization at the forefront of developing socially responsible agriculture programs. Their website explains, "Fair Trade is an international system of doing business based on dialogue, transparency and respect. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions for producers and workers in developing countries. Behind the principles and goals of Fair Trade is a rigorous international system of monitoring, auditing and certification." Growing consumer demand for organically-grown products has resulted in increasing availability of certified organic foods, including great coffee. For a coffee to be certified organic, it must be grown in a manner that excludes the use of fertilizers, pesticides, hormone treatments or steroids. Organic farmers instead must rely on superior growing practices, natural fertilizers and alternative methods of pest and disease control. For more information, please visit ams.usda.gov/nop.
