„Their support made the difference in many cooperatives keeping rather than losing their land when the Sandinistas lost power in 1990. The Fair Trade Federation, the national association of fair trade retailers and wholesalers, boasts over a hundred business members that import or market crafts with the primary motive of supporting cooperative producers with fair prices.“

„It is genetically different from other coffee species, having four sets of chromosomes rather than two. The fruits are oval and mature in 7 to 9 months; they usually contain two flat seeds (the coffee beans) - when only one bean develops it is called a peaberry. Arabica coffee is often susceptible to attack by pests and diseases, therefore resistance is a major goal of plant breeding programmes. Arabica coffee is grown throughout Latin America, in Central and East Africa, in India and to some extent in Indonesia.“

„The kit includes only about 1 teaspoon of the powdered tea, and this tea was of very poor quality- rather than a bright green color, it was a dark brownish color, not ground very finely, and in no way had the characteristic matcha taste. Having had the benefit of having tried "authentic" quality matcha tea before, I can definitely see and taste a huge difference in quality. The bamboo whisk was of fair quality, and the terra cotta bowl is not one I plan on using. In sum, I do like the book because it is very informative, but I would suggest that people looking for the tea brewing supplies (especially the tea) look beyond this kit because of the poor quality of the materials.“
