coffee culture, part xx

"had we been a little less jet-lagged, we'd probably have realised we were in an upmarket version of one of santiago's famous smutty coffee bars."

yes, upscale espresso bars in chile's capital often feature barely clad young things. but you'll be happy to note that the reviewer remembers to say that the coffee's great too.

what i like best about the recent time magazine article on fair-trade coffee is how it quotes so many long-time bccy friends, like paul rice of transfairusa and mark inman of taylor maid. these are also scaa people, so you know the good stuff is going on.

"you're not imagining it: everyone really is doing yoga."

and more power to us for it!
