Frequently Asked Questions
Fairtrade coffee is coffee certified by the Fairtrade Foundation (or equivalent body) to meet strict social, economic, and environmental standards. Farmers receive a guaranteed minimum price for their beans, plus an additional Fairtrade Premium invested back into their communities for projects such as clean water, healthcare, and education.
Fairtrade is a specific certification with defined criteria and independent auditing, while "ethical coffee" is a broader term covering any sourcing approach prioritising fair wages, sustainable farming, and environmental responsibility. This can include Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Organic, and direct-trade relationships.
Look for the official Fairtrade mark on the packaging. Every product in the Fairtrade range carries this logo, meaning it has been independently audited and meets the standards set by Fairtrade International. Only coffees from roasters who hold the relevant licences are listed.
Not at all, in fact, many of the best-tasting coffees carry a Fairtrade or ethical certification. Certification relates to how the coffee is sourced and traded, not how it's roasted or brewed. The range includes everything from rich, full-bodied espresso blends to bright single-origin filter coffees.
Fairtrade and ethical coffees are available in whole beans (for grinders or bean-to-cup machines), ground coffee (espresso, filter, and cafetière grinds), and coffee sachets (pre-portioned, ideal for hotels and serviced apartments).
Absolutely. Fairtrade and ethical coffees are among the most requested options for hotels, B&Bs, conference centres, and corporate offices. Offering Fairtrade coffee demonstrates a commitment to responsible sourcing. Bulk and wholesale pricing, flexible ordering, and fast UK delivery are available.
Not necessarily. Fairtrade and Organic are separate certifications with different criteria. Fairtrade focuses on fair pricing and community investment, while Organic certification ensures coffee is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Some coffees carry both certifications.
The Fairtrade model guarantees farmers a minimum price plus a community premium, which means the raw material cost is higher than commodity-grade coffee. This translates to a modest price difference at retail level, but the premium supports sustainable livelihoods, reduces poverty, and funds community infrastructure.
PureGusto offers verified certifications with no greenwashing, a wide selection of beans, ground coffee, sachets, and pods, wholesale and bulk pricing, fast UK delivery, and expert guidance to help choose the right Fairtrade or ethical coffee for your machine, menu, or workplace.
Yes, many hospitality customers do exactly that. You might offer a Fairtrade house blend alongside a speciality single origin, or switch your default office coffee entirely to Fairtrade. The ethical range spans multiple formats and flavour profiles, making it easy to integrate into any existing setup.
