As you know, coffee is very important to me. I plan vacations accordingly. Okay, I plan my whole life accordingly. I consume an unhealthy amount of coffee. I have been on a quest, seeking a coffee that is affordable, organic, fair trade, shade grown, and delicious. I would also prefer my coffee be produced by a company that only produces coffee that meets these requirements rather than producing several conventional coffee varieties and one that happens to be triple certified. And, it would be nice if I really believed in the company and truly wanted to support them. I am insanely loyal to Organic Valley dairy products, for example, because I really believe in their company. I want to fill my morning cup with coffee and cream I can believe in! Yesterday I discovered Larry's Beans. This morning I experienced Larry's beans. Then I researched Larry's beans. I think I'm in love! I am enjoying the 'Frank Sumatra' variety today. It was 7.99 for a 12oz bag. The beans are organically grown in the shade and purchased at a fair price. Then they are roasted using passive solar energy in a warehouse that is operating at nearly 100% sustainability. The beans are packaged in a biodegradable bag that will become compost for my garden at some point. The company delivers coffee locally(not here unfortunately) in a van fueled by veggie oil. This company is so committed to it's ideologies they created a separate website on sustainability. My favorite aspect of this company? These guys have a sense of humor. Check out Larry's Beans by clicking on 'Larry's Beans' at the top of this post! Now, this is coffee I can believe in!
