Showcase Coffee of the Week

Fair Trade Organic
Honduras Marcala Women Producers

                                               Women Producers

Our first lots from Cooperativa RAOS (Regional de Agricultores Orgánicos de la Sierra) came in 2015. These past several years, we have been thrilled to see both the quality and the quantity of their coffees improve, and we know there is even more to come. The 2016/2017 harvest saw our first opportunity to source a Women Coffee Producer lot from this group whose 270-farmer membership includes 77 women. Now we are able to buy several containers from the women as well as the mixed group.

In addition to the program premiums these women receive for this lot, Cooperativa RAOS has many very active educational support programs open to all members through the development of training farms, as well as integrated farm-management programs and organic-farming support to all members, including the female growers.

Organic Ethiopia Limu

Ethiopia holds near-legendary status not only because it's the "birthplace" of Arabica coffee, but also because it is simply unlike every other place in the coffee world. Unlike the vast majority of coffee-growing countries, the plant was not introduced through colonization but rather they were discovered growing wild in forests. There are no coffees that are spoken of with the reverence or romance that Ethiopian coffees are.
This Ethiopian coffee is certified organic.

L' appel du vide

L'appel du vide (French)



Translates literally to "the call of the void".

The urge some people get to jump from high places when they encounter them, for example, when close to the edge of a cliff. The fear of heights comes not from fear of tripping and falling but the idea that one might suddenly be compelled to throw oneself over. Nothing makes more sense than that. As irrational as it sounds. I hear it. I feel it. I feel it.


Salt of the Earth




[Jesus said] "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men." (Matthew 5:13).

The common expression, "salt of the earth," is derived from Jesus Christ's most famous teaching of all, the Sermon on the Mount (see Matthew 5-7).

After listing the "Beatitudes" ("Blessed are the meek . . . "), Jesus told His people that they were the salt and light of the world. Both terms were used metaphorically, to illustrate how the people of God were to stand out from the rest of the world and impact others in a positive way.



Today, when we refer to a person as "the salt of the earth," we generally mean this in a favorable way. Such people are unpretentious, uncomplicated, devoted, loyal, earnest, and honest. They are hard-working folks, who add value to the lives of others.

Another way to describe these people is this: "What you see is what you get."

To most, this may be considered a compliment of biblical proportions.
