Organic Coffee Options

By Samantha Gasco

  Blended, iced, or piping hot, it’s what gets the majority of us through our busy days. Coffee, a substance drank so often it’s worth knowing where it comes from and it tastes even better organic.

Farmed without harmful pesticides, organic coffee costs only pennies more than your traditional cup of joe. And it’s well worth it considering most organic coffees are also fair trade, meaning farmers are paid fair wages to produce a quality product. So on your next shopping trip, try one of these great options and see if you can taste the difference.
