This video breaks down four coffee certifications, and a couple of company's buying programs, into digestible sections, which I hope will help you make more informed decisions when buying coffee. There’s a lot of detail behind the logos that you see on bags of coffee in the grocery store and this video aims to clarify the different approaches these certifications take so you can decide which one best overlaps with your values.
