What is Organic Coffee?

Well, let's start at the heart of the matter: the word organic. What does it mean to be organic when we're talking about food products? Organic means the food was produced without synthetic pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer. It's that simple. And yes: coffee is a food. There is a good deal of processing in order to get it to the point that we ingest it. But, it is nonetheless food. You could eat a coffee cherry straight from the coffee tree. But, coffee tastes much better after High Peaks Java roasts it!

First of all, how do we know that the coffee is produced organically?
