„As far as I know, the UW-Madison Memorial Union offers organic fair trade coffee as just one of its gourmet "alternatives" and they use the Alterra brand. We (obviously) have been pushing them to devote more time and energy into promoting such and would prefer that ALL the coffee at the union be organic fair trade shadegrown - but that's "pie in the sky" (we can't even get them to stop buying apparel from sweatshops...) A much better example is offered by Edgewood College in Madison (a smaller Catholic school) where ONLY fair trade coffee (I think it is Equal Exchange) is available in their cafeteria - they also sent a whole busload of people to SOA, so they practice what they preach.“

„Over the past two and a half years, the Lawrence Fair Trade Coffee Commission, has implemented fair trade coffee in the unions (through the memorial corporation) and the dining services (through the university) with separate contracts (one with a local roaster and one with Pura Vida). The fair trade expo in 2001 that was organized to put local coffee shops, fair trade companies, and consumers together was instrumental in making these connections between the university and local businesses. Last spring, we organized a week of global awareness, demonstrating the interconnections between economic, social, and environmental justice issues.“

„CANTON, MA—March 7, 2002—Equal Exchange, the nation’s leader in fairly traded gourmet coffee, announced today record payments of $960,000 in above-market fair trade premiums to small farmer cooperatives in 2001. With coffee growing communities in many developing nations continuing to struggle with record low market prices and deepening poverty, a growing number of small farmers are benefiting from their trade partnership with Equal Exchange.“

Tea & Coffee 04/01 - St. Helena: The Forgotten Coffee
„Helena coffee performs as an espresso. Most gourmet coffees do not lend themselves well to espresso and, as a consequence, most espresso coffee is a blend. St. Helena coffee, to the contrary, has received positive feedback from Italian roasters and cuppers extolling its performance as an espresso.“
