About Fair Trade, Organic Tanzanian Coffee From Level Ground Trading:

"The Mbeya region of Tanzania, known for some of the finest arabicas of East Africa, is the home and namesake of Level Ground Trading's newest coffee, Cafe Mbeya. Aromatic tastes of Dutch cocoa and a long pleasant finish are sure to make this Fair Trade organic coffee a popular choice.

"First planted as a means of erosion control, coffee trees now offer a sustainable income to mountain farmers of southern Tanzania. By building washing stations in the heart of coffee regions, the Tanzanian Hope Project, a sustainable coffee initiative, has made it possible for out-of-the-way farmers to affordably bring top quality beans to market.

"Through Fair Trade, coffee producers consistently receive a reasonable price for their crop, cash payments on delivery, and additional community benefits such as organic farming conversion, education, and health care. Cafe Mbeya is certified organic by IMO.

"Already, Fair Trade premiums generated by Cafe Mbeya have provided health insurance for the families of 100 'mamas' who process our coffee for export.
Cafe Mbeya is imported directly from small-scale producers, roasted in small batches, and packaged soon after to ensure the best coffee possible."

What is Fair Trade?

Fair Trade is an alternative approach to conventional international trade which promotes social equity, economic security and sound environmental practices. Its goal is to contribute to sustainable development by improving market access for disadvantaged producers, by raising awareness and campaigning. It works to a set of values and objectives that seek to improve living standards and achieve a fairer distribution of income and influence. It is a partnership between all involved in the trading process -- producers, workers, traders and consumers.

Key elements of fair trade include:

* Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
* Transparency and accountability
* Promoting independence
* Payment of a fair price
* Decent work conditions
* Sustainable environmental practices
