• Perusing the shelves in the coffee aisle, though, you see too many choices.
• Yet when it comes to commodity goods like coffee, the complex production chain can turn an uncomplicated habit into a complicated decision.
• As a coffee enthusiast and marketing professor who researches marketplace justice, I’ve long been fascinated with how ethics and coffee consumption are intertwined.
• Marketers attempt to simplify this overload by using buzzwords that sound good but may not get across much nuance.
• However, you might consider some of these terms when trying to decide between “100% Colombian” and the Vieira family.

Fair trade

• “Fair trade” implies the coffee is fairly traded, often with the goal of paying farmers minimum prices – and fixed premiums – above the C-price.
• There are a few different fair trade certifications, such as Fairtrade America or Fair Trade Certified.
• These relationships potentially allow the importers to work directly with farmers over multi-year periods to improve the coffee quality and conditions.

100% arabica

• There are several species of coffee, but approximately 70% of the world’s production comes from the arabica species, which grows well at higher altitudes.
• Like with wine, there are several varieties of arabica, and they tend to be a bit sweeter than other species – making arabica the ideal species for satisfying consumers.

Single-origin

• If someone labeled a peach as “American,” a consumer would rightly wonder where exactly it came from.
• Others have developed blockchain solutions where each step along the coffee’s journey, from bean to retail, is documented in a database that consumers can look at.

Shade-grown

• Farmers or importers are left justifying the cost and wondering if the specialized label can attract a large enough market to validate their decision to certify.
• That said, many farmers who have the ability will do shade-grown regardless, since it’s a better farming practice and saves some costs on fertilizer.
• In the end, all this information – or lack thereof – is a tool for consumers to use when making their coffee choices.
