Tea & Coffee 09/03 - My Summer in France with Fair Trade
„Ten producers (7 men, 3 women) represented coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar and bananas and came from Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bolivia, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Congo and India. Although Fair Trade tea is in its infancy compared to Fair Trade coffee, I was proud to represent tea, second only to water as the most popular beverage in the world. Max Havelaar had specifically asked Makaibari to be represented by a woman so along with Elizabeth from Ecuador and Blanca from Nicaragua, I was one of the three women. The two-week program, “La Tournee Nationale des Producteurs du Commerce Equitable” from May 3 - May 18, was organized to promote and increase awareness of Fair Trade throughout France.“

„The company buys organic coffee for about $1.40 a pound directly from farmers' coops in Mexico, Guatemala, and Ethiopia. Then Peace Coffee turns around and sells it to American consumers at high-end markets and natural food stores in resealable bags that feature the company's logo -- a mandala-like turtle shell based on the mythological symbol for the union between the earth and spirit worlds. The prices the company pays farmers are set according to international Fair Trade standards, which guarantee the farmers a minimum rate of at least $1.26 per pound (www.fairtradeffederation). That's nearly three times as much money as they would ordinarily get from exploitative middlemen known as coyotes, whom many were previously forced to rely upon to get their crops to the big companies that ultimately market coffee to American consumers.“

„Whereas Central American coffees are distinguished by their dry, winey aftertaste, the coffees of Indonesia and New Guinea are noted for their richness, full body, long finish, and an acidity that, though pronounced, is deep- toned, gentle, and enveloped in the complexity of the coffee. Many consider the Mandheling and Ankola coffees of Sumatra the world's finest. They are often hard to find, but still moderate in price. Of the two, Mandheling is the more admired, and the Lintong mark of Mandheling probably the most admired of all.“
