CoffeeGeek - TransFair USA Celebrates Fair Trade Month with Chefs, Farmers and Retailers (#)
„Fair Trade certification has an impressive and steadily growing support base, ranging from coffee industry experts such as Cup of Excellence Co-founder George Howell, and award-winning specialty coffee roasters such as Duane Sorenson of Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Portland to Alterra Coffee Roasters of Milwaukee. Top-tier chefs Dan Barber of Blue Hill Restaurant, New York; Mark Weber of Watermark, Milwaukee; Greg Higgins of Higgins, Portland; and Traci DesJardins of Jardiniere and Acme Chophouse, San Francisco all serve Fair Trade Certified food in their restaurants. Fair Trade pioneers like Equal Exchange continue to expand their businesses and launch new Fair Trade products. Meanwhile, Fair Trade also continues to make inroads into the mainstream through the efforts of companies like Procter & Gamble, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Sam's Club, Stop & Shop, Giant, Tops, and Fred Meyer supermarkets.“

„"To those who are shocked about the high prices", says George Howell, the co-founder of Cup of Excellence and head judge, "I can only say that boutique wines and teas have been attracting prices for years that this auction has not yet touched. I hope it is only the beginning."“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Other countries hold similar competitions without the help of the Cup of Excellence, some involving Internet auctions and some not. To my knowledge the competition with the longest history is the very modest, three-judge event held every year in Kona, Hawaii, in conjunction with the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. Growers in Panama held their first competitions before the Cup of Excellence was organized, and now have added an Internet auction to their event (www.panamacoffee.org) .Costa Rica also holds its own "Crop of Gold" competition and auction www.scacr.com. India has held a competition for several years (www.indiacoffee.org) that includes its exotic wet-processed robustas and monsooned coffees as well as its fancy arabicas, although it does not offer the winners at auction. The competition/auction concept has now spread to Africa, with events planned for several countries in East and Central Africa.“
