While at the Natural Products Expo East 2008 last month I ran into quite a few booths featuring "green" coffee: organic, free trade, shade grown, you name it. One company had compostable bags that the beans are sold in, another sourced their coffee beans from an all woman-owned cooperative in Peru. Cool!With America's obsession with coffee and some 150 million drinking coffee every day doesn't it make sense to support better coffee growing practices? Well, I'm certainly thinking a change to organic or at least fairly-traded coffee is a good idea. This week I'm drinking Screaming Monkey blend by BuyWell Fair Trade coffee.
