Orgin Interview

Hey guys,

Two questions:

1. Has any of those attending the Fest in Chicago has ever taken an orgin trip?

2. And out of those who have, anyone willing to sit down during the fest and talk about it?

I'm attempting to do a research paper for school about the affect the american coffee consumer has on individual farms and farmers. With the main thought focusing on Americans paying a fair price for their coffee so as to have positive influance at orgin.

And I guess I can add a third question, anyone have any thoughts on where I can find other resources? I know I may be able to find a lot at the fest, but it doesn't hurt to throw the question out there.

Thanks!
Cherie

Mike Benis replied to Al Soto's discussion 'A Natural process Colombian?'

I don't have an opinion. It depends on the beans and how the process is done, which also depends on what sort of gear they can afford to buy and maintain. There's an interesting but somewhat longwinded document about it in the description of an Et...
