Are You an Organic Coffee Drinker? Chances are, if you enjoy coffee, chances are you already know its many advantages – not only for yourself and the planet but also because consumers don’t realize all coffees are created equal! But some consumers may not be aware that organic options have many more health and environmental advantages.

Conventional coffee is among the most chemically treated foods worldwide – up to 250 pounds of dangerous agrochemicals such as herbicides, pesticides and fungicides may be applied per acre of conventionally grown beans. Not only do these toxic chemicals poison plants but they pollute air, water and surrounding communities as well as making their way into your cup of joe where they may disrupt natural hormone balance and negatively affect mood and overall health.

Organic coffee offers pure flavor without synthetic chemicals – providing more benefits to both yourself and the planet. In order to qualify for USDA organic seal, beans must be grown without using synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, processed in certified facilities and must meet specific regulations before receiving this label.

At its heart, organic coffee drinking supports organic agriculture – helping promote a healthier ecosystem while safeguarding against industrialized farming practices that harm our world’s ecosystems and soil fertility. Furthermore, organic farming practices contribute to maintaining soil fertility while safeguarding regional ecologies to create an improved living environment.

Organic coffee beans are healthier from the ground up due to the reduced use of chemicals, and offer richer flavors than their conventional counterparts due to beneficial microbes found in healthy soil. This ensures a more robust growing environment which creates complex nuances within each bite of organically-certified beans.

Organically certified coffee is also better for farmers and their families. Conventional farming typically occurs in deforested regions that require heavy machinery and expose farmers to hazardous chemicals; organic coffee farms tend to use shade trees from natural forests as growing space, increasing biodiversity while alleviating environmental stress while providing safe work environments for coffee farmers.

We live in an immense and chaotic world, but we can still have an impactful and positive influence from within our own homes. By supporting organic coffee wherever we can and demanding it where it cannot, we can shift towards more eco-friendly methods of production as well as healthier foods – including tasty cups of coffee!
