Fair Trade Coffees: Sleepy Monks Reserve

The Baden Coffee Company promotes Fair Trade Coffee under its Sleepy Monks Reserve brand, which is organic, shade grown and bird friendly. "Sleepy Monks Own", a blend of five Fair Trade beans of separate origin, has become one of our most popular coffees.

The coffee we drink and enjoy every morning is the result of hard working peasant families in third world countries. Independent farmers earn as little as $3 a day (Canadian). Fair Trade is an international organization that promotes equal trading partnerships with small coffee farmers in developing countries.

Trans Fair Canada is the governing body in Ottawa that regulates the purchases and sales of Fair Trade coffee. The suppliers of Fair Trade coffee must be licensed by Trans Fair Canada.
