A Tale of Two Heavyweights: Organic Coffee Vs. Traditional Coffee
A heaping of organic coffee powder being tossed into your steaming hot milk in the mornings is an experience in itself. That’s not knocking traditional coffee, which also turns tired bodies to life in a matter of minutes. Today, many consumers have switched to organic fruits and vegetables in an attempt to fend off pesticides, live healthier, and to stay environmentally conscious. As a result, the more serious coffee enthusiasts have been forced to pay premium prices for organic coffee as a result of Fair Trade and the complexity of its production. Just how is organic coffee produced that justifies this expense?
To begin, organic coffee production differs from traditional company in that organic coffee plants grow under shade trees, which serve to purify the soil and prevent water contamination. Given the limited number of shade trees, many coffee growers have opted to produce bigger crops in the middle of pesticide and fertilizer infested territory given the larger surface area. Unfortunately, there is no way to produce non-organic coffee without the use of synthetic chemicals that have been known to harm the environment. Since pesticides pollute the soil, much question has been raised over the declining taste of coffee and its effects on health.
In addition to nurturing organic coffee beans, shade trees also double as habitats for birds that prevent pests from touching organic coffee crops. In essence, they are nature’s replacement for pesticides. Today, an ideal plot of land for organic coffee is a small farm with plenty of shade trees and a sizable bird population for pest control. Organic coffee thrives so much in these conditions that the United States requires all of its organic farmers to use this type of land.
In conclusion, organic coffee is grown under better and more stable conditions than traditional coffee. With smaller farms and its shade trees replacing large coffee plantations soaked with pesticides, organic coffee is your best bet towards a better environment and a salute to your health.

Could this be the best exfoliant ever?
So I am a little excited, I just tried a random idea which turned out to be the best skin exfoliant ever! It’s cheap and can be made at home – with the added bonus of no chemicals. I don’t know whether anyone has done it before, but I definitely recommend it!
1. 1/2 Used Coffee Grounds
2. 1 Tbsp. Organic Honey
3. Mix thoroughly
4. Massage on skin (face, hands, feet, legs, you name it…)
(On the face, don’t rub too hard. I have sensitive skin and used pure organic honey as a mask for about 30 mins afterward – super smooth!)
My skin feels totally smooth and I just had to share it with someone!
Give it a try and tell me what you think! (or if you’ve tried it before, how did it work for you?)
For number 1, I meant to put a 1/2 Cup…
Coffee grounds, never thought to use that.
Thanks for the idea, I will give it a try when I get a chance.
