The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Beth Ann Caspersen, Quality Control Officer for Equal Exchange, a distinguished green coffee dealer and roasting company, points out that, in fact, there are three additional Fair-Trade origins available in North America: East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and Tanzania. Beth Ann goes on to write that: "non-Latin American Fair Trade coffees have been sold on the U.S. market for much longer than two years. We at Equal Exchange have been offering Fair Trade Tanzanian since 1996 and Fair Trade Sumatran since 1997. I believe others have also been importing some of these Fair Trade non-LA origins before 2002."She concludes with a plug for Fair Trade: "I would also like to point out to your readers the great success Fair Trade producers had at the recent Nicaraguan Cup of Excellence competition where Fair Trade cooperatives took 5 of the top 10 spots, including the best organic, Fair Trade coffee in the competition."“

Tips on Coffee - The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History
„The Devil's Cup coveys a surprisingly thorough history of coffee in an entertaining package that no one could mistake for a textbook. BookForum - Ronald JonesIt sounds absurd but Allen's The Devil's Cup posits the coffee bean as "the driving force in history." The Devil's Cup, however, is strangely substantial (and) written in a style recalling the best travel writing. The hidden connections Allen uncovers in this book often astound, making it, in its way, a small treasure. Book DescriptionCoffee as history's primary instrument and instigator.“
