Technically, these guys are coffee wholesalers, but Daniel Randall, managing partner and roastmaster, said it is possible for the average Joe to buy a not-so-average cup of joe from the company’s online store. Randall recommends the dark roast Organic Fair Trade Italian Roast as the best gift grind. (It’s what he brought to Thanksgiving.) Randall promotes fair-trade (and organic) coffee because “it’s good for you and better for the planet and for the farmers.” And, as a 15-year veteran of the coffee industry, Randall sees it as an investment in the future. “If farmers can’t afford to grow coffee, they’ll tear it out and grow another crop.” To keep the beans growing and the java flowing, Randall votes fair trade.
