Mercy's coffee is roasted fresh to order at Texas Coffee Traders in Austin, Texas and shipped the next day. People... that is fresh and you can taste the difference! TCT has been roasting great beans since 1981. Our beans originate from developing areas of the world like Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Fair trade cooperatives in these areas empower small-scale farmers with fair wages, safe working conditions and much more all while maintaining environmental sustainability.
In other words...Fair trade is good people helping other good people of developing countries who would otherwise be exploited to provide you with the highest quality products on the market. No children were harmed or trafficked to work on farms. No one cheated out of pay. No families going hungry and sinking deeper into poverty. No natural habitat or wildlife destroyed in the process.
Now doesn't that make you feel good?
Loose the chains of injustice - Isaiah 58:6. It is the mission of MERCY to loose the chains of injustice by empowering producers with the means to break the cycle of poverty. We can accomplish that mission only if we each do our own small part to change the bigger picture. Be informed. Be responsible. Buy fair trade.
