With coffee growing mainly in developing countries and the second most traded commodity in the world, it is important that as consumers we support the ethical treatment of the many farmers and workers involved in this industry. That is why we only carry organic, Fair Trade coffee. It is important to us that what a farmer receives for their crop is a fair price and not at the mercy of fluctuating international trade markets.

The same goes for other crops like teas and cocoa where Fair Trade can help support farming communities and in particular the women in these communities to produce a high quality product without destroying their local environment and helping them to trade their way out of poverty.

Organic Licorice

Green Grove Organics licorice is delicious as well as good for you!

Licorice is a medicinal herb that dates back over 4000 years. Ancient clay tablets describe licorice as the "elixir of life" for it's cure-all characteristics.

Recent research strongly suggests these ancient claims by revealing that licorice may be an aid in the following areas:

*
Boosts the immune system
*
Is a mild natural pain reliever
*
Aids endurance
*
Activates the liver
*
Rejuvinates the pancreas
*
Strengthens the respiratory system
*
Aids digestion
*
Cures ulcers
*
Fights tooth decay

To top it all off, licorice tastes good too. The botanical name for licorice actually means sweet root and is the key to the remarkable taste and medicinal properties of licorice. In the root of the licorice plant is a substance called glycyrrhizin, which is 50 times sweeter than cane sugar. This has made the root of the licorice plant a versatile and healthy flavouring in many foods and medicines.
