Thankfully, my favorite French roast bean is Fair Trade. They even show the areas from which the beans were harvested. It's definitely good to know you are buying from companies that don't cheat the small farmers. I really appreciated this post. Thanks fr sharing it with us for T this Tuesday.

I remember visiting a coffee plantation in Costa Rica, the farmers deserve to keep more profits.

I can’t remember how w qualified, but a large percentage of the population would buy fair trade products and most shops were behind the idea. There was a lot of education as well. All the schools participated in teaching the children about fair trade.

I read a book about bananas once and how an American Fruit Company-later called Chiquita really took advantage of Central American farmers. I hope you have a great T day and week ahead.
