I have no idea, but I think most of it is produced in China and our resident PRC nerds might be able to find out. I don't think there's much inherently exploitative in most forms of agriculture (except manually cutting sugar cane), just that it depends on the scale and rights of the workers. My issue with coffee is that it went from a small focus boost to being held hostage by the inconvenience of abstinence, and I thought "why not?". The coffee craze did begin with slave labour but at least the plant is not some addictive grassblade bamboo from hell that cuts you and gives you tetanus.
