| It
was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly,
and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack
to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the
rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The
waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the
pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.

Please
see an update about shade grown coffee here.
Our
shade grown single origin offerings are comprised of special
estate coffees & select co-operatives:
ESTATE COFFEES are entirely processed, from tree to final
bagged beans, on a privately owned plot of land. Estate
coffees reflect the unique characteristics of their soil,
microclimate and "signature" processing methods.
CO-OPERATIVE COFFEES are produced by a group of independent
local farmers who bring their best coffee to a shared
milling (processing) facility where it is blended together,
milled and sold. The best co-operative coffees are exceptionally
well-integrated, reflecting the primacy of good production
values. Most organic & all fair trade coffees are
from co-operatives.
