I went with Higher Grounds http://www.javaforjustice.com as part of a delegation to Chiapas, Mexico, to visit the indigenous communities that actually grow the coffee they sell. The owners are great people. They sell FT coffee on their website.

Sorry, just another guy and off-topic as well. But I’m tracking down every blogger who has been nominated for a Koufax Award to urge their readers to learn more about the Koufaxes here. This year, each award gets a $100 prize.

This is excellent. I’ve been thinking about trying to create a similar resource for Edinburgh, so people can find out where to go for all their ethical goodies.

It’s something bloggers everywhere ought to be doing, so lovers of Fairtrade/organic/local/independent stuff can always find out where to go - wherever they are in the world.

Amusingly, TJ also sells a FT Organic coco mix. . .

This isn’t a local place, but I just found a place online called http://www.deansbeans.com/ … All fair trade and organic coffees, teas, cocoa. I ordered stuff from there last week and am waiting to receive it, so I can’t vouch for taste, but either way. Sorry if you already knew about it…
