My coffee guilt trip over bean sourcing

I saw a documentary on the farm that grows my usual beans. It showed workers getting treated pretty poorly. Now my morning brew just doesn't feel right anymore. I'm stuck between loving the flavor and hating the background. What do you all do when you find out your beans have a bad side?

Look beyond fair trade labels to farmer-owned co-ops. These setups often ensure better wages and working conditions because the growers have a say. My local roaster sources from a co-op in Honduras, and they share stories about the impact. It helps connect the cup to the people behind it.

Farmer-owned co-ops actually work?

Actually, fair trade can be good too.
