Black Gold…great movie

Filed under: blog — admin @ 4:57 pm

Last Wednesday’s film screening of Black Gold was a great experience…we served an incredible brew from Ethiopia (the particular area discussed in the film), that i must say was nothing short fabulous….love me some Peace Coffee!

About 25 people were able to make it and spent the next hour & 1/2 in complete amazement over how coffee prices have drastically affected African people. Many growers were in awe that we pay about $2.80 for a cup of coffee…they thought it was a joke because they can’t even receive $0.15 or a pound!

here’s a pix of the group right before the show.

we will be showing the movie again next year, most likely in February. if you are interested in learning about coffee, fair trade practices & the movie before the next showing….see the following:

Black Gold

don’t forget to ask you local brew-house if they carry fair-trade…most likely they won’t even know what it is.
