963Coffee


jeremy and i signed up to get a monthly delivery of fair trade, shade grown organic coffee from 963coffee. we chose the african morning blend and it came a couple of days ago. this morning we brewed our first pot. yum! i cannot normally taste the difference in coffees but this stuff puts starbucks to shame. wow. basically buying our coffee online through this company helps support economic growth in whichever country the coffee comes from (in our case africa) instead of in howard schultz's pockets.


mosaic screened the movie black gold a while back, which talks about the issues of fair trade coffee vs. not etc. we missed the movie, but the website also directs visitors to the black gold website as a way to promote awareness of these important issues. i am not trying to convince anyone of anything except this: this is the best coffee i hav ever had, and i feel especially warm and fuzzy drinking it knowing that i am helping people across the world.


check it out - you will be glad you did!
