I usually buy organic fairtrade coffee, but I should point out that it
is, at least in the UK, much more expensive than the inorganic (?)
exploitative (?) alternatives.

Over here a great deal of that additional markup goes to the
supermarket, not to the grower, because they will happily milk those
of us who do not buy on price alone.
