A heaping of organic coffee powder being tossed into your steaming hot milk in
the mornings is an experience in itself. That?s not knocking traditional coffee,
which also turns tired bodies to life in a matter of minutes. Today, many
consumers have switched to organic fruits and vegetables in an attempt to fend
off pesticides, live healthier, and to stay environmentally conscious. As a
result, the more serious coffee enthusiasts have been forced to pay premium
prices for organic coffee as a result of Fair Trade and the complexity of its
production. Just how is organic coffee produced that justifies this expense?To
begin, organic coffee production differs from traditional company in that
organic coffee plants grow under shade trees, which serve to purify the soil and
prevent water contamination. Given the limited number of shade trees, many
coffee growers have opted to produce bigger crops in the middle of pesticide and
fertilizer infested territory given the larger surface area. Unfortunately,
there is no way to produce non-organic coffee without the use of synthetic
chemicals that have been known to harm the environment. Since pesticides pollute
the soil, much question has been raised over the declining taste of coffee and
its effects on health.In addition to nurturing organic coffee beans, shade trees
also double as habitats for birds that prevent pests from touching organic
coffee crops. In essence, they are nature?s replacement for pesticides. Today,
an ideal plot of land for organic coffee is a small farm with plenty of shade
trees and a sizable bird population for pest control. Organic coffee thrives so
much in these conditions that the United States requires all of its organic
farmers to use this type of land.In conclusion, organic coffee is grown under
better and more stable conditions than traditional coffee. With smaller farms
and its shade trees replacing large coffee plantations soaked with pesticides,
organic coffee is your best bet towards a better environment and a salute to
your health.Scott Wilson has been a importer and roaster of organic coffee for
