    Just saw this on tv. These guys only buy from growers who are environmentaly conscious and pay extra to make sure the workers aren't being exploited. They even have a new blend named after my mom's home country; Nicaragua. I think I might send her some. Anyways, if you are a coffee aficionado, I recommend you try this, I know I am.

    I see someone else was watching Food Network as well! :)

    I'm currently drinking tea instead of coffee, but if I switch back (which I always do) I'll definitely check out Summit.

    Oski2005, please get back to us on this once you taste the coffee. Seriously, update this thread from the scrapheap, and I (for one) will keep track. Everytime I have tried to drink coffee in a responsible way (avoid chains, buy at mom-n-pop shops, drink eco-n-labor-friendly), I end up with a cup full of coffee that tastes like a$$. :(

    I've developed a morning coffee-evening tea habit.

    Decaf all the way.

    I like the Tazo Chai from Starbucks for my tea.

    Doesn't Starbvucks have a line of 'fair market' coffees?

    I tried one, was unimpressed, but I'm going to try their Mexican Shade-Grown next trip.
