fair trade is the top issue for me. sure shade grown and organic is nice, but when it comes to coffee, social justice is the priority for my cup. price per pound that goes to farmer increases from $.60 to over $1.20... the amount that multinationals pay farmers around the world is a bit ridiculous. i rather pay my extra buck in the north and feel reassured that someone is getting that money in the south. more here:
