Healthier Coffee

We spoke at our follow up meeting about healthier coffees and what that might look like. While we are not telling you to give up your beloved coffee, we do believe there are some healthy guidelines to consider when it comes to imbibing.

First choose organic coffee whenever possible. Coffee beans are typically a heavily pesticided crop. Therefore if we drink non-organic coffee, we are likely also consuming pesticide residues, which are quite toxic to our bodies. We also like to recommend Fair Trade coffees, which support the farmers and their families with fair, sustainable wages.

Here are some of our favorite brands:

Equal Exchange

Puroroast (low acid)

Caffe Sanora

Green Mountain Roasters

Newman's Own Organic Line of Coffee

The Organic Coffee Company

Cafe Altura

Mount Hagen

We're sure there are more, just look for the certified Organic and Fair Trade labels.
