„Warning, the University of Puget Sound professor, said students at the Tacoma campus gathered 700 signatures in three days last spring, representing more than one-fourth of the school's 2,500 students. The campus cafe now sells only fair-trade coffee, including decaf and espresso.“

Tea & Coffee 04/01 - The Kona Kai Scandal and its Aftermath (cont.)
„The Kona Coffee Council, the local trade group representing farmers, said it “does not condone the civil action filed against the customers of Kona coffee because of this alleged fraud.” And, “The people responsible for the civil actions make up less than one percent of the people engaged in the coffee business in Kona and do not speak for the majority of the industry.” A press release put out by the council also said the civil actions are affecting the Big Island economy negatively and do nothing to promote Kona coffee or other coffee grown in the State of Hawaii. Celia Smith of Smith Farms in South Kona, a past president of The Kona Coffee Council, noted on another occasion that there were but 19 plaintiffs out of 600 Kona farmers. Some have said that the suit was driven more by Mark Davis, the plaintiff’s council, than by the convictions of the grower community. John Langenstein said that farmers were being pressured by processors whose economic interests were threatened by the suit to withhold support for the legal action taken by his group.“

„Mozhin said the election was a backlash against the oligarchs as they were the main campaign topic. The liberals, in part representing oligarchs and in part representing the intelligentsia hurt by the reforms, were too fragmented to unite and thus fared poorly in the election. The communists were also attacked by anti-oligarchy sentiment from the nationalist groups. This has left President Vladimir Putin with a firm majority in the Duma, and should help him to promote structural reforms.“

„“We are pleased to see Starbucks join the growing number of coffee roasters considering fair trade,” said Rob Everts, co-director of Equal Exchange. “However, the commitment Starbucks has made to small farmers appears quite limited and we encourage them purchase a more meaningful portion of their coffee under fair trade terms. With their volume, Starbucks could make a world of difference in the lives of thousands of peasant farmers,” Everts added.“

Basic Black - Coffee for the next generation - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada
„"I don't know if (coffee says anything about personality) but the people themselves might think so which is perhaps the only thing that matters," he said. "I guess I'm not a man's man, I don't drink it black." If it's really good coffee he'll try drinking it straight up but usually Mr. Sullivan unabashedly adds cream. Cream or sugar are acceptable, even expected, in Canada but coffee drinkers should be careful.“
