Ethical coffee

We have a visitor from Australia who arrived bearing a gift of coffee. The lady who runs the company lives in the same town as our visitor and is known to her, and our guest thinks she's honest. So I prefer to believe that the company's claim that it pays a fair price to the farmer for his or her beans is true.

I can vouch for the flavor of the coffee; it's good. We have a sack of the Dark Roast Whole Bean (there was a moment of panic when I couldn't find the lid for my 20-year-old Krups grinder), and it's not oily or bitter. It's got more flavor than the mass-produced stuff we usually buy, that's for sure.

Nothing like a good cup of coffee. And when it's ground for the occasion, it's usually great.
