„The confusion over coffee, cafés, and justice extends high and low. In May, Colombia's finance minister, Juan Manuel Santos, told an International Coffee Organization meeting in London he'd just paid $3.00 for a cup in Covent Garden and barely 1 cent of that would go to producers. As for Lynn Savill, she says she'd pay $4.00 for a "fair trade" coffee if a café offered it—and she's better informed than most, since her employer, aid agency TEAR Fund, is looking for coffee roasters to import beans from East Timor to help development partners there. So far it's pushing uphill against commercial realities in a very competitive market.“
