The growing consumer demand for kosher fair trade products reflects the consumer demand for keeping their chosen observance for religious purposes as well as Eco-sustainability values. These values continue to reach and impact more and more retail and wholesale sectors. Along with clothing and jewelry, kosher fair trade coffee is finding its way into the homes of many consumers. Cause related marketing throughout the fair trade movement has helped bring attention to worthy causes which deserve support, and help maintain a decent quality of living for those communities in coffee growing nations.
Until recently, finding non fair trade and organic kosher coffee has been easy to find, as many of the top commercial grade companies have a kosher certification. But, relatively few of the independent, small batch roasters of fair trade organic coffee have made the transition to becoming certified kosher.
In order to be certified kosher, a company must have their facility thoroughly inspected, sometimes periodically, and sometimes on a daily basis, depending on the nature of the facility’s products. This qualification of a company obtaining a certificate of kosher status does require a financial investment, and that is why finding a small batch coffee roaster who is also certified kosher is not so easy. Usually, a recognized rabbinical authority or organization will certify a company only after it demonstrates a high level of conformity with the rules of kosher certification.
Using the internet to search for kosher fair trade coffee which is also organic, has now made it easier for consumers to find what they are looking for.
