The term “fair trade” (or “fairtrade”) is thrown around a lot, but what does it mean?
could have made this all very confusing. Fortunately, there is a standard labeling organization. TransFair operates in many coffee-consuming countries and roasters who meet certain criteria (and pay a fee) can use the TransFair logo on fair trade coffees. In some countries, this logo is a black and white person holding two bowls. In others, the logo is a blue and green ying-yangish thing with a green leaf and a person in the middle.
