BETTER BEANS
100% ORGANIC, FAIR TRADE, SHADE GROWN COFFEE
With deep floral notes and a full body, Higher Ground's Sumatran Medium Roast is lighter, and characterized by a buttery chocolate aftertaste. All of Higher Ground’s coffees are Fair Trade, organic, and shade grown. Fair Trade certification enables the farmers who grow our coffees to keep their family owned farms and benefit from economic and educational programs, while growing a great organic crop. Higher Ground coffees are also grown in the shade of the forest canopy—preserving ancient forests and natural habitat for innumerable species of plants and animals.
FAIRER MEANS
Members of the Gayo Co-op are small-scale coffee farmers dedicated to producing 100% shade-grown, organic coffee. Significant premiums earned from selling to the Fair Trade and organic markets allow this co-op to contribute to a wide variety of programs, including:
- A credit union to extend small loans to families in the cooperative
- Upgrades to processing facilities
- Community infrastructure projects, such as clean water supply, local roads, and schools
- Rehabilitation of degraded lands and unproductive coffee trees, as well as income diversification with other shade grown crops
“The value added from Fair Trade is not just about money, it is about protecting the ecosystem and our community. We are able to invest in infrastructure to improve our well-being. Thanks to Fair Trade, one of my children is now in medical school and the other is in midwifery school.” -Mohammed Salim
