Kauai Coffee part of the Fair Trade Movement?Updated 2 months ago

Kauai Coffee Company is proud to offer 100% Hawaiian Coffee that is Fair Trade USA certified. This certification ensures our products meet rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards. As a U.S.-based company, our operations naturally adhere to the high labor and environmental standards established within the country. While we are one of more than 1,500 businesses certified by Fair Trade USA working in partnership to empower individuals, strengthen our community, and take steps to protect the planet, our participation in the broader Fair Trade movement is tailored to our unique position as a domestic producer.

All of our 100% Hawaiian coffee is traceable to its orchard of origin on our farm. All of our coffee is “cupped” at 3 different stages of production to ensure the highest quality and consistency. Samples are cupped from, (1) each dryer batch of coffee produced, (2) each lot of coffee that is “milled” and, (3) each roasting and packaging run.

Our coffee is inspected and double-graded first by us, then by the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture to certify grade quality and origin.
