Find buying coffee confusing? What does”Fair Trade”, “Utz certified” or “Rainforest Alliance Certified” really mean anyway? Where can you buy good tasting, environmentally sound and labor friendly coffee? The blog Imagined-Community provides readers with a super-thorough and easy-to-understand guide to buying coffee.

I currently get my coffee from Pura Vida, which is “fair trade” certified, but there is a fair amount of debate about the merits of fair trade.

Ann Arborites seem to have fallen in love with Roosroast Free Speech coffee. Its roasted here in Ann Arbor, and they get their beans through direct trade with small farmers. You can purchase it at the farmer’s market. Cafe Zolas, Cafe Verde and Cafe Ambrosia also sells Roosroast. And if you live in Ann Arbor, you can most likely get the coffee bike-delivered to you.
