Working on my personal upgrade and trying to make my life even more sustainable and eco-friendly. So here comes a question - are all coffee beans considered to be organic by default? Or there's something I should be aware of?

Also I'd appreciate any ideas on cow milk alternatives - which one have the creamiest texture from your experience? I have no problems with drinking pure espresso, but my husband has.

Coffee is best purchased sustainably sourced and fair trade
I get mine either at Fresh Thyme or buy Aldis fair trade beans

I drink coffee plain, but find oat milk is wonderful in tea, and it seems preferred by those who use it for coffee. I now have Chobani extra creamy oatmilk- it's really neutral, very creamy and froths well if you like that
I keep meaning to make my own

Thanks for your reply, Silva! And extra thanks for this article - I've been thinking about fair trade, but still have now idea how to check the brand.
I can't find this info anywhere, so I believe Cafe Don Pablo (even though it's organic) is a no deal for me anymore. They only mention that it's a "family business" but not such info on their Amazon page. Guess I should contact them directly.

As for milk, are your talking about this? Saw it in Walgreens this weekend, so I should definitely give it a try - esp since alekaaurelius recommended it as well. Thanks again!

Yes, that's the one! The extra creamy is esp amazing- If you want to use as a regular milk, like for cereal, I've added water to stretch it out, it's that creamy.

Do you have an Aldi? I love their fair trade coffees, I buy the Honduras single source whole bean, as well as ground German roasts. They are labeled fair trade, and a good price, both under $5 for about 12-14 oz. Trader Joes is another good source.

If you're looking to improve your health and increase the number of vegetables in your diet, there are a few things that you can do.

1) Sure to select high-quality, nutrient-rich vegetables

2) Try adding these veggies to meals throughout the day instead of just one large meal.

3) Make sure to incorporate them into every type of dish possible – from soups and stews to salads and stir-fries.

Brazilian coffee beans make a very good espresso, and its taste is very cool to complement the almond milk, it turns out very tasty. This coffee is sure to lift your spirits and energize you for the whole day.
