Is it Ethical?

The access to Fair Trade Coffee is very widespread, however there are concerns with certain organizations that still source their coffee beans from farms that use child labor, unfair wages and modern slavery. Overall, the wages for farmers and workers should be increased and the labor laws for production of coffee should be closely monitored.
