Nature's Market - The Coffee, Tea and Spices department

Coffee, tea and spices are dried products of many different plants. As with living plants, it is important that they are grown in a clean and healthy environment in order to safeguard quality. Also important for quality is how the plants are dried, stored and packaged. Organic certification or environmental certification concerns the whole process from production to packaging and ensures that nowhere in the process have harmful chemicals been used while guaranteeing that quality is in accordance with the strictest standards. Sometimes preservatives or even MSG is added to the spices in order to increase flavour and to lengthen shelf life. Therefore it is important for the consumer to carefully read the ingredients. In this section, all information provided on the packaging is listed and certifications are especially mentioned. Coffee is produced by burning the beans of the coffee plant. The growing of the coffee plant can be with or without synthetic chemicals i.e. fertilizer and toxins. By buying organically grown coffee it is possible to ensure that neither the body or the environment is being polluted.

Fair trade emcompasses both tea and coffee production and ensures that the workers are fairly treated and payed. View the Coffee, Tea and Spices department.
