Tea & Coffee 10/03 - Certified Sustainable Coffee (#)

„All three certification programs vouch for the conditions and practices at La Trinidad, a far-flung cooperative in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Sustainable Harvest imports La Trinidad’s “triple certified” coffee which is snapped up by buyers such as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Caribou Coffee Company. Coffee Enterprises, a company known for its progressive practices and support of such programs as Coffee Kids, squeezes the essence of some La Trinidad coffee for use in specialized flavorings. The new Ben & Jerry’s “Coffee for a Change” ice cream is flavored with La Trinidad’s best beans.“

„One main reason more coffeehouses are selling kosher coffee today is that their customers are asking for it, according to Henry Stein, senior director of business development for the Caribou Coffee Company, which is based in Minneapolis, Minn. The president of this 12-year-old, privately held chain of 260 stores in 12 states (the second largest non-franchised coffee company in the U.S. after Starbucks) discovered that it was one of the few national companies without a kosher mark on its bagged beans and ground coffee. That, combined with the clamor from its customers, led Caribou to change its ways.“

„Starbucks stores account for roughly one third of all coffeehouses, and roughly one half of all sales (approximately $3.4 billion), even when sales from licensed franchises are excluded. With 5,400 coffeehouses in the U.S., Starbucks is more than 20 times the size of its closest competitor, Caribou Coffee. Absent a competitor, Starbucks will continue growing in size until its shops begin to cannibalize their own markets, making further growth unprofitable.“

„Notes: Certified organically grown and fair-traded, meaning farmers have been paid a formula-determined sustainable price for their coffee. Caribou Coffee is a retail roasting chain based in the upper Middle West whose rather irreverent motto "Life is short. Stay awake for it" belies a serious approach to coffee. Visit www.cariboucoffee.com or call 888-227-4268 for more information.“

„Some roasters take the classic route: Holiday Blend, Christmas Blend. Others work sly variations: Minneapolis's Caribou Coffee offers a Reindeer Blend. Others take advantage of an exotic location or otherwise go international: Thus we have Royal Vinter Kaffe (Gevalia, Sweden); Hawaiian Christmas Roast (Lion Coffee, Honolulu); and Celebration Caffe (Allegro, Boulder; I assume the Italian refers to a slightly darker roast style).“

„Morning blends ranged from the giddily floral- and fruit-toned Pride of the Andes blend from Neighbors Coffee, to the dry, bordering-on-astringent Eastern Carolina Morning Blend from Classic Coffees, to Caribou Coffee's grandly classic Daybreak Morning Blend with its intense acidity, voluptuous sweetness, and complex nuance.“
