Organic coffee is a joke that has gone way too far.
Coffee bushes/trees are naturally resistant to insects. The caffeine that naturally occurs in coffee beans is a natural pesticide. And fertilizers for coffee is usually manure and other compost from farms in the valleys. Sure, some coffee farms use chemical fertilizers but none use pesticides.
Those just using compost place a label on it of "Organic" and double the price. Green Coffee is still the same price for Organic vx other specialty coffee.
"Columbian" coffee is an institutional grade coffee that is machine harvested and roasted to being just shy of second crack...to where the coffee brewed from it tastes like burnt rubber tires. (Starbucks, Folger, Maxwell House, DunkinDonuts, and etc)
Regional coffees (ones sold by nation of origin) can be institutional grade or specialty. Lots of institutional grade Green coffee is being sold as specialty these days...and since so few actually know how to roast, brew, grind or the difference between specialty vx institutional grade they get away with it quite easily.
The coffee market is much like the pearl market. Everyone wants Tahitian wild saltwater pearls but considering the number sold vx the number actually produced each year....there's a ton of liars in the industry. You have a powerball winner's chance of actually getting what you pay for. (Just get freshwater cultivated and save yourself some cash)
The Columbian coffee market is completely controlled by a small group of fascists. Brazil produces the same coffee and is a bit better. And the "peasants" have been revolting against the fascist regime...to little effect because the Government supports the fascists.
