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

I'm not sure if you're looking for different importers/ roasters, but I know that Cafe Imports has a great deal of information on most all coffee they carry. I'm not sure if they offer there coffee roasted already or if its all green.
I'll have to look into this Big Train Chai...I actually placed an order for a couple different kinds from Third Street Chai in Colorado so i'll have to let you know how they are! I should be getting them today or tomorrow.
IMHO a machine featuring saturated groups is ultimately what you should be shooting for. Though I wouldn't put up a humongous investment on one initially because there are a LOT of indie-type start up coffee shops coming up right now and the probabi…

So how did the Experts give you an education while you were there? We are looking to do something like that realizing most of our customers know zero about espresso and zero about organic coffee. We are in a drive thru setting and wondered if we sho…
I would expect the market there would be good. A lot of the oil expats I know here in Indonesia have come via the oil business in Nigeria- along with manufacturers such as Cussons, Glaxo etc. I do understanf though that doing business in Nigeria is…
That is truly amazing. You will be blessed for your efforts!
Intelligentsia has so little information on offer about their Sidama right now because it's this years crop and the Ethipian Commodity Exchange has really been wreaking havoc with all of the work a lot of quality oriented roasters have put into trac…
