How is coffee shipped?
Coffee is shipped out from origin countries (the nations which grow and process coffee cherries) in a green coffee form. The product will remain fresher longer when unroasted. The green coffee beans are placed in burlap sacks which weigh between 120-150 lbs. The burlap sacks usually have some sort of origin identification on the; i.e. nation, region, plantation specifics. But the origin of most coffee consumed in the US is removed from the consumer's visibility, and as long as coffee drinkers don't know where their coffee comes from, they will remain unlikely to ask about the quality of life where the coffee grows.
