Have a coffee question…ASK COFFEENATE!

Join me and Ben Schmerler (Coffee Category Manager : Fair Trade USA) as we discuss coffee, fair trade, and how consumers can make a real difference in individual lives and communities across the globe.

Did you know that we drink more than 400,000,000 cups of coffee EVERY DAY in the USA?  Wow!  How often do we stop to think about the journey that those beans had to make in order to grace our mugs?  Do we ever wonder about where it is grown, or the lives of those who carefully cultivated it?  If you were like me a couple of years ago, the answer is no.  Why would you?  You go to the store, buy the coffee and drink it.  Well, now you will know [Read more…]

It’s really funny that I sang a few bars of Neil Diamond to open the show!  Now Neil Diamond is a trending topic of Twitter…lol.    This week I received two pounds of Kuhlman’s Koffee, one of their Ethiopian Natural Organic Sidamo Guiji and a package of Fair Trade Sumatra Mandheling.  The packaging doesn’t carry any organic or fairtrade certified seals, but the company says that it is certified fairtrade and some are certified organic while others are organic, but not certified.   I found the organic Ethiopian to be [Read more…]
