coffees, both regular and organic, if you're interested.

Some little coffeeshop over the river in the area of N.N. called
Hilton....on Warwick St.



My cousin's son has two coffee houses in MN--college towns--where he
roasts his own special varietals and blends. He has both organic and
whatever isn't considered organic, with no price difference. His coffees
are the best I've ever had. He learned his trade in Seattle, home of
some of the world's best coffee. They have a website which I'll email
you, if interested.


Don't be too impressed by "organic" coffee. Most of it comes from Peru,
where they decided to focus on organic. It takes three years and a lot of
money and paperwork for a small farm to become certified, regardless of
whether they have been organic for years. On the other hand, a large
corporation and clear cut virgin rainforest and be instantly certified.
Thus, when you buy "organic" you are actually supporting rain forest
deforestation by bug business!

As for price, the Peruvian organic is as cheap as "regular" coffee, and is
much cheaper than the higher quality beans from the best specialty farms.
Thus, if you pay more for organic, you're probably being had. BTW, if you
doubt this, just taste test Trader Joe's organic vs a small quality
roaster's offerings. Or just note that in Whole Foods they always offer
"organic blend" which is mostly cheap Peruvian.


That's all news to me. Thanks for that, Jeff.

My cousin's son's operation is a small, high-quality roaster operation. He
buys raw beans, hand selects individual beans for quality, and then roasts
them in small batches. His French roasts are the best I've ever tasted.
They make absolutely superb espresso.
