Equal Exchange's mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers and to demonstrate, through our success, the contribution of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic and sustainable world.
Equal Exchange Coffees are Certified Fair Trade and Certified Organic. Each bag contains 12 ounces of whole bean coffee.
Breakfast Blend is is blend of light and dark roasts, with a rich flavor and a sweet finish -- this is the perfect coffee to drink all day long.
French Roast is a select blend of beans from Latin American cooperatives. The timeless flavor of French Roast is known for its rich body, medium acidity, and smooth flavor.
Breakfast Blend Decaf is as balanced and rich as Breakfast Blend. Carbon Dioxide is used to gently remove caffeinne without sapping the flavor from the bean. Compressed to a liquid state, carbon dioxide -- the compound that we exhale with every breath -- is a natural solvent which grabs caffeinne and pulls it from the bean. (Breakfast Blend 12oz bag and French Roast 10oz)
Please note that French Roast is the same price despite the difference in weight. When coffee beans are roasted for our French Roast blend, the beans are roasted longer and expand slighty more, making a bag full of fewer but bigger beans. Enjoy!
