White Coffee has been engaged

in coffee importing and roasting

business since 1939.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

White Coffee Corporation makes

single serving coffees similar to

those sold by Keurig, the “K”

cups.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

In fact, as the article notes, their

organic coffee in a bio-

degradable cup will compatible

with Keurig brewing systems.

Convenience versus

Environmentally Friendly

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

The long standing issue with

single serving coffees is that

there is always packaging left

over that goes into the landfill.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

The organic coffee in a bio-

degradable cup by White Coffee

addresses that issue.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

After all, you buy organic coffee

partly because you are doing the

environment a favor.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

There is a lot of work that goes

into certified organic coffee.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

Organic coffee certification

guarantees that the consumer is

drinking organic coffee, coffee

uncontaminated by unwanted

substances.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

Organic coffee certification also

drives up the cost of a cup of

coffee.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

The problem for a small coffee

grower is that some organic

practices can be more costly

than conventional practices.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

For example, the labor cost of

composting may be more than

the cost of buying conventional,

albeit prohibited, fertilizers.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

If the coffee farmer cannot obtain

a sufficiently high price for his

crop his is unable to continue the

sustainable farming practices

necessary to produce organic

coffee.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

Thus the ability of the consumer

to obtain organic coffee

antioxidants and other healthy

ingredients depends upon the

willingness of the consumer to

pay for the higher quality coffee

available through organic

growing practices and organic

coffee certification.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

The point is that using a

biodegradable container reduces

the wastage that commonly goes

with single serving coffee.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

The most efficient and

environmentally friendly way to

buy and store coffee is in large

containers.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

However, a single person living

along may only consume a

couple of pounds whole bean

coffee in the six months shelf life

of freshly roasted coffee.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

Economy of scale does not work

in this case.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1298/organic-coffee-in-a-bio-degradable-

cup/

And, frankly, single serving

coffees are efficient when it

comes to your own time and

affairs.

So, thanks, White Coffee for your

new organic coffee in a bio-

degradable cup!
