Our excellent quality organic coffee has been Fair Trade Certified by Trans Fair USA. Trans Fair USA is an independent non-profit organization which monitors and certifies Fair Trade products in the United States.

You can support fair trade by buying superb quality Fair Trade Certified coffee.
Fair Trade practices include:
- Paying farming families a fair price for their harvests that provide them with a decent living wage.
- Helping small farmers gain access to needed loans for working capital.

While chemicals are used to decaffeinate most coffee, Surf City Coffee is decaffinated using the SWISS WATER® Process which uses only water. It’s a patented process that results in great tasting coffee that is never subjected to chemicals.
