Ethiopian Organic Fairtrade Coffee
250g packs of whole beans OR ground coffee

From the birthplace of coffee comes this delicious Sidamo Ethiopia Gold coffee. It's roasted to perfection and ground ready for your plunger.

Even better, this coffee is Fairtrade which guarantees a better deal for Third World producers. It's also certified organic; so it's much better for the farming families, the environment and for your health.

The coffee was produced by members of Oromia Farmers Union in southern Ethiopia. Fair trade is a trading partnership which ensures that producers receive a fair price for their product and secures the rights of marginalized producers and workers - especially in the South. The Fairtrade label on this packet is your guarantee that this coffee meets internationally agreed Fairtrade standards.

The Negele Gorbitu Cooperative with 396 members is just one of 74 cooperatives forming the Oromia Farmers Union in southern Ethiopia. The Farmers Union buys coffee from the growers in the Cooperative, and sells it directly to overseas buyers. 70% of net profit goes back directly to the farmers, and the extra Fairtrade Premium you pay goes back to the Cooperative for community benefit. In the last two years Negele Gorbitu has built a new clinic and a school for 300 children from these funds.
