Amazon’s Direct-Trade Coffee….please tell me it’s not too good to be true.
Post Body

I’m currently on a mission to find the most ethical coffee on Amazon (good for people and the planet).

Amazon’s Amazon Fresh Direct Trade Nicaragua is selling for $6.57 for a 12oz bag. It also advertises its Rain Forrest Alliance certified. But for that cheap of a price….no way right??

My understanding is Direct Trade ≠ Fair Trade. So do we think they’re still paying the farmers a shitty wage? Or how are they profiting on this?

I went down a deep rabbit hole yesterday trying to decide which coffee to buy. Thank you!

There are actually a lot of third party sellers on Amazon that sell coffee with ethical practices.
