If you are interested in natural coffee brands you are looking for healthy organic coffee.

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.



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



This is a sustainable agricultural practice resulting in high quality organic coffee.



Shade trees attract birds and are the cornerstone of a healthy habitat.



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



There are numerous organic shade grown organic coffee brands.



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.



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



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.



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



UTZ aims to teach good agricultural practices and environmental protection.



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



•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.



So, if natural coffee brands are your goal look for UTZ on the label.

Rain Forest Alliance



The other good choice for natural coffee brands is the Rainforest Alliance.



This is a non-government entity similar to UTZ.



They promote good use of the land and strict adherence to healthy means of growing coffee.



Rainforest Alliance certified coffee is part of a broader sustainable agriculture program of tropical crops, including coffee, bananas, cocoa, oranges, cut flowers, ferns, and tea.



Certified coffee farms meet a strict set of environmental standards that include preservation of the ecosystem and reduction in use of synthetic chemicals of all sorts.



If you want natural coffee brands look for the Rainforest Alliance logo on the container.
