Chanvez: Lets band together and form a Coffee Opec
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has asked the coffee producing countries to form a international co-op as a means to control pricing. As for controlling pricing Chavez states the USA and George Bush have taken advantage of the Latin American countries long enough and the café brothers need to band together to keep prices up.

What is Organic Coffee?
Today many agricultural products are grown using organic methods and coffee is no exception. Organic products have a very minimal effect on the environment because there is no use of insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers. All organic produces are certified to ensure that their products are grown in such a way. Expensive and very technical labs must conduct very thorough tests on the gourmet coffee to ensure the product is organic.
