Equal Exchange Organic Coffee, French Roast, Ground - 10 Oz, 3 Pack

Chocolaty Richness with a Subtle Smoky Flavor

Equal Exchange, a worker-owned cooperative, is deeply committed to Authentic Fair Trade. Their organic coffee boasts a captivating aroma, with notes of brown sugar, brownie, floral sweetness, fudgy chocolate, and velvety, thick, delicate gingerbread. The bittersweet chocolate flavor is both pronounced and prolonged, creating a dark and delicious experience with a full-bodied, smooth finish.

Sourced from small farmer cooperatives in Latin America, Equal Exchange's coffee is certified organic by Oregon Tilth. The company is devoted to several core principles: paying fair prices to farmers, trading directly with democratic cooperatives, providing pre-harvest credit to aid farmers throughout the growing season, developing long-term trade partnerships, and supporting sustainable, shade-grown farming practices. These commitments extend across 100% of their coffees, teas, cocoas, and chocolate.

Equal Exchange views its farmer partners as equals, recognizing their shared dedication to growers and the land, and their joint effort to create a better future. Since 1986, Equal Exchange has been offering gourmet, sustainably grown coffees, roasted in small batches to bring out their best characteristics. This commitment to quality extends beyond the beans themselves, encompassing the quality of life for the farmers with whom the company works.

Fair Trade at Work

Much of the world's coffee is grown by small farmers, purchased at negligible prices by middlemen, and then traded on a commodities market far from its origin. Equal Exchange provides an alternative by working directly with small farmer cooperatives, helping to build pride, independence, and community empowerment. The added income and stability from this relationship enable farmers to make improvements in their own lives, as seen in initiatives like women's leadership development in Guatemala, eco-tourism projects in Nicaragua, and savings and loan programs in Mexico.

This coffee, brought to you with pride by Equal Exchange and its small farmer partners in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, is 100% Arabica, sustainably grown, and fairly traded. It is also certified organic by the USDA and certified Kosher, ensuring gourmet quality in every sip.
