Certified/Certification
The claim of a objective (usually international) body that will attest to a coffee.s purity or proper production practices. The multinational nature of coffee agriculture results in a tremendous amount of fraudulent claims. After passing their stringent, and oftentimes expensive tests, a certifying body will allow their symbol will be displayed prominently on the packaging as well as any promotional materials. Certification typically declares some benefit for both growers and consumers, and while it may increase the cost of the coffee somewhat, it encourages sustainable practices in the industry. Some common certifications include Organic, Shade-grown, Bird-friendly, Eco-Friendly or Sustainable, Kosher, Fair-Trade, Child-Friendly, as well as others. See individual listings for many of these, as well as Fairly-Traded and Triple Certified.
