Espresso with orange juice sounds unusual at first glance. However, thanks to TikTok, the combination of the bitter note of coffee and the sour-sweet note of juice is increasingly popular.

espresso, orange juice and other orange products are often problematic in their preparation. Conventional agriculture works with chemical-synthetics when growing oranges pesticides and monocultures. Both damage soil and biodiversity. In addition, most oranges in the world are grown in Brazil.
This does not only mean long transport routes and high CO., LTD2– Emissions, but also often poor working conditions: workers do not receive reasonable wages and spend ten hours a day on the plantations. If you don’t want to support these exploitative structures by buying orange juice, syrup and jam, you should buy fair trade products. To avoid pesticides and monocultures, we recommend paying attention to organic quality. Learn more about it here: Orange juice: why we should talk about it
Also, when growing and harvesting coffee beans, workers often have to work on plantations in poor working conditions and for little pay. For this product, too, we recommend paying special attention to fair trade and organic quality. For more information, see this article: Fair Trade Coffee: Why Really? Fair Trade Facts and Myths
