Every day, millions of people sit down and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Because of the huge demand, coffee comes in hundreds of different options that include caffeinated and decaffeinated. There is also a lot of flavored coffee such as hazelnut, French vanilla, maple, chocolate mousse, and the list goes on. In addition to flavored coffee there are many specialty blends such as Kona, which is a wonderfully balanced coffee from Hawaii. However, the best coffee comes from the organic grown coffee bean.
In South America, traditionally, coffee is shade grown, which means it grows under bushes since the beans do not tolerate direct sunlight. These canopy shade trees provide just the right amount of shade for most coffee beans. This shade coupled with the leaves help provide the needed moisture in the soil for the coffee plant and the results are fresh beans with amazing taste. Best of all is that this type of organic coffee bean is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides.
Because the organic coffee bean has become so popular, we now see new hybrid varieties being developed. With this, crops produced more beans, smaller in size that make harvesting much easier and more efficient. Another huge change with this coffee bean is that it can be grown in direct sunlight, which has helped the production rate to meet ongoing and increasing demand.

Organic coffee is grown without using any pesticides, herbicides or any other chemicals. Organic techniques rely on maintaining soil quality and plant health as the most effective way of boosting productivity. It is also very effective in protecting the beans against disease.
There is regular rotations of crops, and in order to make sure that nutrients regularly replenish the soil, the plantations are interspersed with fruit trees and nut trees. This ensures that the land remains fertile for generations and means that farmers do not have to clear away trees to make space.
This coffee is commonly grown on small, family owned farms that benefit from having these extra crops. As a financial incentive, farmers who grow organic beans are paid on average about fifteen cents extra per pound than with conventional beans. This not only reflects the benefit of these organic beans, but also the additional labour put into growing them.
Organic coffee is commonly ’shade tree grown’ beneath a canopy of trees that helps to filter the sun. This is often referred to as ‘bird-friendly’ coffee as it helps to maintain the natural habitat of for birds and other wildlife. This can result in up to 150 species of bird on a shaded coffee farm as opposed to less than 20 on a conventional one.
Beans that grow in this habitat actually mature more slowly than regularly grown beans. To many people this given them a superior taste and a finer texture.
