In fact you really want organic shade grown coffee because under the shade of trees is how coffee grows naturally.

Shade-grown coffee comes from coffee plants grown under a tree canopy.

Page 5: Natural Coffee Brands

Coffee growers plant both coffee and a variety of shade trees.

Some coffee farmers plant plantain and other trees which produce fruits to harvest so they grow more than one crop on their land.

However, many of these types of healthy organic coffee may be hard to find.

In general, when looking for organic coffee one looks for evidence of USDA certification.

However, USDA certification does not guarantee that your coffee is one of the any organic shade grown coffee brands.

Page 13: Natural Coffee Brands

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1311/natural-coffee-brands/

Rather you may wish to look for UTZ certified coffee or coffee certified by the Rain Forest Alliance.

Page 14: Natural Coffee Brands

Both of these organizations encourage a broader approach to growing organic coffee and commonly help promote organic shade grown coffee brands that their clients produce.

Page 15: Natural Coffee Brands

The point being that when you look for natural coffee brands look for the UTZ or Rainforest Alliance logos on the container.

UTZ Certified Organic Coffee

Page 18: Natural Coffee Brands

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1311/natural-coffee-brands/

UTZ aims to teach good agricultural practices and environmental protection.

Page 19: Natural Coffee Brands

A UTZ grower learns to do the following and then continues to do what is needed.

Page 20: Natural Coffee Brands

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1311/natural-coffee-brands/

•Reduce and prevent soil erosion

•Keep records of fertilizer and chemical use and use these products responsibly

•Follow good farming practices including integrated pest management

•Avoid deforestation

•Protect water sources, native and endangered species

•Use native fauna for shade grown coffee

The end result of a coffee farmer following UTZ principles is that he or she retains or regrows a natural forest habitat in which natural coffee brands can be grown.

UTZ follows coffee from planting to the roaster, carries out yearly inspections and promotes the organic shade grown coffee brands of its clients.
