First and foremost is the question of where to find the best cup of organic coffee in the world. There are certainly organic coffee competitions and a few years back a Panama Mountain Grown Organic Coffee won the prize. But sometimes a given organic coffee is a sleeper. It does not compete on the world stage but rather in its own back yard. For a year or so I was convinced that the best cup of organic coffee could be had at the Juan Valdez coffee shop in the Eldorado air terminal in Bogotá. Then I tasted the organic coffee made by several other producers in the Colombian Eje Cafetero (coffee growing axis) and decided that Señor Valdez did not have a lock on the best cup of organic coffee in the world. Certainly Brazil produces more coffee than anyone else in the world but maybe, like their monumental loss to Germany, they have lost or never had a lock on the best cup of organic coffee in the world. As you can tell our preference is for the organic coffee from Panama when you can find it and the more bountiful supply of Colombian organic coffee brands. I distrust coffee tasting competitions. For one thing when someone sets up a competition in their own back yard the whole thing is too easily rigged so that the home town favorite wins. And, tastes legitimately vary. If you really like a dark roast versus a light roast you might miss out on some aspects of an organic coffee...

How to Decide on the
Best Cup of Organic
Coffee

I distrust coffee tasting competitions.

And, tastes legitimately vary. If you
really like a dark roast versus a light
roast you might miss out on some
aspects of an organic coffee that really
shines when roasted lightly instead of
burned to a crisp.

As such the best cup of organic coffee
for me might not be the best cup of
organic coffee for you.

In the end you need to taste test a
variety of organic coffees. This is why
we at Buy Organic Coffee are happy to
send you a few samples to choose
from.

Organic In Reality If
Not in Certification

I recently had a chat with one of the
producers of organic coffee in Panama.
His coffee farm is near Boquete,
Panama where they have been
growing coffee by sustainable means
for a century.

18. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1115/best-cup-of-
organic-coffee/
He reiterated his story about paying
$500 a year for Bio Latina certification
only to find out that he did not have to
change his farming practices and that
he did not profit from the experience.

19. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1115/best-cup-of-
organic-coffee/
He always sold out his crop and did not
find any buyers willing to pay higher
prices.

20. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1115/best-cup-of-
organic-coffee/
So he still grows his great organic
coffee the way he always has but
without the USDA sticker on the bag.

In this regard, as well if you are looking
for the best cup of organic coffee from
Colombia or Panama, check in with the
folks who deal locally and know where
folks produce organic coffee by
sustainable means even when they do
not bother to change their label.
