OF COURSE YOU WOULD!
Part of how we spread the word
about stopping child labor and slavery (and abusive slave wages for coffee
farmers) -- as well as raise money to donate to various charities,
non-profits and ministries -- is with 100% Fair Trade/direct trade and 100% organic coffee...ALL
our coffees are BOTH organic and fairly traded!
One thing that's different about Coffee 4 Change's organic Fairtrade coffee
is
that YOU can earn money for you, your family, your church, sports team,
business or
favorite charity by fundraising with coffee! (click

Everyone knows we Americans LOVE
our coffee, and drinking -- and serving -- organic, shade grown, Fair Trade
coffee (that's freshly roasted and absolutely delicious) is something that makes
EVERYONE involved feel good about themselves!
We're helping
people AND helping the planet (shade grown coffee preserves critical habitats for critters and birds PLUS the organic farming
methods are helping heal the land the coffee is grown on -- and the
communities long exposed to dangerous chemicals. There are
no harmful chemicals used in the growing process of our coffees...did you know
that over 1,000
chemicals have been reported in roasted coffee and that more than HALF of those
tested (19/28) are RODENT CARCINOGENS? Coffee's negative health effects
are often blamed on its caffeine content but we believe it's the CHEMICALS,
NOT THE COFFEE! Instant coffee has a much greater amount of acrylamide than brewed coffee.
There are health benefits to organic, chemical free coffee too, MANY
benefits. "The presence of
antioxidants in coffee has been shown to prevent free radicals from
causing cell damage. A recent study showed that roast coffee, high in lipophilic antioxidants
and chlorogenic acid lactones, protected primary neuronal cell cultures
against hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death.
 "Researchers
involved in an ongoing 22-year study by the Harvard School of Public
Health state that "the overall balance of risks and benefits of coffee
are on the side of benefits." Men who drank six or more cups of
coffee per day were found to have a 20% reduction in developing prostate
cancer.
"Other studies suggest
coffee consumption reduces the risk of being affected by
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, diabetes
mellitus type 2, cirrhosis of the liver, depression and gout.
"A longitudinal study in
2009 showed that those who consumed a moderate amount of coffee or tea
(3–5 cups per day) at midlife were less likely to develop dementia and
Alzheimer's disease in late-life compared with those who drank little
coffee or avoided it altogether." (source:

Holding coffee parties is the perfect way to introduce people to
HEALTHY, organic (meaning petrochemical and pesticide free) that is
seriously delicious and costs about 40¢ per cup of coffee! (You
can't GET coffee this fresh in any coffee shop...let alone organic AND
fair trade/direct trade...for
anywhere NEAR this price...FORTY CENTS PER CUP!!!)
 We've
read that for
every $3.00 cup of coffee you buy at any Starbuck's in Nashville, only
3¢ goes to the coffee farmers...NOT true with our Fair Trade organic coffee.
We pay direct to our farmers AND have many projects going to help their
communities.
You
can bring it to a tailgate party, your MeetUp group, your office, your
aerobics class (did you know recent studies have proven coffee is
HEALTHY for you?), your bridge club, your sports team or ANYWHERE since
75% of Americans drink coffee and 60% drink it every day.
Bringing premium, organic 100% Fair
Trade coffee to share; coffee that tastes delicious AND helps people
(both for their health AND those in the coffee farming communities), is ALWAYS welcome.
Invite
friends over or hold a FUNdraiser for your company, non-profit group or
house of worship!

We did a comparison for organic coffee
Nashville in a few local stores and here's what
we found: organic coffee averages about $1 per ounce, some a
little less and some a little higher. Our coffee is in the
same price range as Starbuck's and Dunkin' Donuts with one crucial
difference: we ship directly to your home AND all our coffee is
100% organic AND Fair Trade!!
In one store, the
Starbuck's we looked at had been sitting on the shelf since January (9
months) and the Dunkin' Donuts had been there since March (6 months).
If you like good coffee, chances are you prefer it super fresh!
Most Fair Trade coffee is sold in 12 oz. bags while our coffee is sold in full pounds, 12 oz. bags AND
in 4 oz. sampler size (for those who don't drink as much or simply want to enjoy a
variety) and all our coffee comes in your choice ground or whole bean.)
25% of the
proceeds from our coffee & chocolate is donated to stopping human
trafficking, child sex
trafficking and child slave labor. View the
Ministries page to view some of
the charities we support.
