All About Fair Trade Gourmet Coffee

By Essie Craft


Today's consumers are concerned about the environment and the welfare of producers in Third World Countries. Fair trade gourmet coffee lets consumers enjoy the most popular beverage in the world with a clear conscience. All the popular specialty roasts, blends, and flavors are available.

The most common method for making this beverage is brewing. Most people like to add cream or sweetener. Another method is a coffee press which boils the water and grounds in the same container, then uses a press to separate the water from the beans. Some consumers say this produces a more flavorful drink. The instant version consists of freeze-dried granules that dissolve in hot water for quick and easy convenience.

This beverage has been consumed since the 6th century in Africa and the Middle East. It was brought to Europe in the 16th century, and the U. S. In the 17th century. It's enjoyed for its bold flavor, and its benefits to increased alertness and mental acuity. Caffeine is a natural stimulant that increases alertness, wakefulness, and concentration. It's also believed to offer protection against kidney and gallstones, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Pregnant women and people with high blood pressure should consume sparingly, otherwise, it's a very healthy drink.

Colonial powers developed large plantations using slaves and poorly paid native laborers. The plant is still grown primarily in regions that are remote and poverty stricken. Products certified Fair Trade are produced by small farmers and cooperatives. In return for a guaranteed minimum price, they agree to limits on the use of pesticides and herbicides, and pledge to use sustainable farming practices. They don't grow genetically modified plants. They accept child labor laws.

Gourmet beverages have superior flavor They are made from the best beans, carefully roasted to impart flavor characteristics. Plants grown from different parts of the world will have different flavors. Some beans are only grown in small regions so of course they are more expensive. Gourmet beverages may have added oils or syrups for flavor such as hazelnut, butterscotch, vanilla, raspberry, coconut, cinnamon, caramel, English toffee, and macadamia nut.

Espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, iced coffee, and cafe mocha are popular gourmet beverages. Mocha uses just a bit of java mixed with cocoa powder and milk. Espresso is a concentrated drink using the strongest flavored beans and hot water. A cappuccino combines espresso, milk froth, and steamed milk in equal parts.
