When you see organic labels on food or products, you might assume it means healthier options and is better for the environment. Coffee is no exception and choosing organically grown coffee can make an impactful statement about how important this issue is to you.

Organic farming techniques use less synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, creating healthier soil conditions. As a result, beans grown organically are richer in antioxidants and other phytochemicals which provide your body with anti-inflammatory benefits.

Growing conditions also impact coffee’s taste. While individual tastes differ when it comes to preferences for flavor and acidity levels, many find organically grown beans have a smoother, less acidic profile compared to regular coffee due to shade-grown plants growing beneath a canopy of trees – meaning the beans mature more slowly, giving a distinct sweetness not found with regular brew.

Organic coffee producers also help combat climate change. Instead of using toxic pesticides and herbicides to grow coffee organically, these farmers rely on natural organic fertilizers like compost, manure and coffee pulp as natural pesticides and fungicides – instead they release significantly less carbon into the atmosphere by using these natural organic fertilizers! Furthermore, many times organic coffee is grown in forests to preserve biodiversity and regional ecosystems alive.

Organic coffee helps to promote fair wages for farmers. Although it’s hard to quantify how much difference organic prices make on an individual farmer, their increased income means more money can go back into their community. Unfortunately, some companies selling organically produced products engage in “greenwashing”, charging customers extra while increasing how much farmers actually get paid.

Simply put, though it may take longer to change the world overnight, all significant change starts with one person. By making the choice to purchase organically grown coffee, you can make an impactful statement about your values as an individual and make a small change that makes a positive difference in yourself and others’ lives. So take that first sip of organic coffee brew with pride knowing your purchase matters!
