Fairtrade Coffee
Fairtrade Coffee guarantees a better deal for producers in the developing world.
Coffees throughout the 5 Senses website branded with the Fairtrade logo seen here are certified by the official Fairtrade Program. 5 Senses Coffee operates under the Fairtrade Licence Number FLO-4055.
Fairtrade has been the buzz word in the industry for a while now and is a movement created and driven by consumers. Just like our ‘Direct Trade’ coffee from Papua New Guinea, we at 5 Senses are passionate about providing a fair price for the grower.
A trading partnership
But Certified Fairtrade Coffee is not just about giving a fair return to the grower — it’s more than that. As stated on the Australian Fair Trade Association website …
“Fair Trade is a trading partnership based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers — especially in the South. Fair Trade organizations (backed by consumers) are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade.” (www.fta.org.au)
