Coffee and grower fairness norms are Starbucks' guiding principles in ethical procurement. Starbucks gives priority to coffee growers who meet the following criteria. They must grow, process and trade coffee in an environmentally, socially and economically responsible manner.

The purpose of the fair and normative design of coffee and growers is to create a better future for coffee growers on the basis of common interests, to produce coffee in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, and to ensure the sustainable production of high-quality coffee.

Starbucks coffee is purchased in an ethical way and grown in a responsible manner. Ethical procurement includes grower support, grower loans, partnerships and coffee and grower fairness norms.

The four elements of fairness norms for coffee and growers are:

Product quality: coffee beans must meet Starbucks Arabica coffee bean standards.

Economic responsibility: ensure transparency of transactions. Including receipts for coffee growers.

Social responsibility: provide protection of labour rights and adequate living conditions.

Environmental example: protect resources, biodiversity and reduce fertilizer use.

Starbucks holds a "coffee course" Starbucks Coffee Journey for customers, one of which is about "coffee growing areas and coffee cups". We use coffee cups (cupping) to taste coffee from different coffee growing areas and explore their characteristics. There are mainly three kinds of coffee beans on the market: Arabica, Robusta and Liberica

Starbucks uses only the first 3% of the best Arabica coffee beans, which are produced in Latin America, Africa / Arabia and Asia / Pacific, and buyers find out the best quality coffee beans. Arabica coffee from the above three regions can be found in a coffee cup. Even if it is mixed in the same way, the taste is obviously different.

The Arabica seed refers to coffee beans planted at an altitude of more than 1000 meters, while the Robusta species refers to beans grown at an altitude of 1000 to 500m. There is no specific country where it is called Arabica seed and which country is called Robusta seed. As for Starbucks' saying that their coffee beans are Arabica beans, they do not mean beans produced in a certain country, but that the quality of their beans is Arabica grade, and Arabica beans are indeed recognized as the best beans in the world. It is unknown whether Starbucks really uses Arabica beans.
