I rarely drink coffee, I gave up caffeine a number of years ago.  My wife always looks to see if her coffee beans are "fair trade'.  This article lists some other things to look for, which I had never heard -- "bird friendly" etc.  

I am not a 'treehugger' so to speak; but, if I have a choice to spend my family's money, one way or the other; knowing the options is always good.  I'd rather spend my money on a product where someone is a good steward of resources.

"As most people know by now, coffee is no longer just coffee, just like chocolate is no longer just chocolate. Instead, coffee can have a host of labels, from Fair Trade to Organic to Single Origin.........."
