Coffee is one of the most ubiquitous beverages on the planet. From Turkish bizarres, to the hilltops of Columbia and the coffee houses of Vienna, this fine beverage is among standard morning operating procedures. We like ours with a little social responsibility, which is why we’re supremely fond of the roasted beans from Taylor Maid Farms in Sonoma County. For those of you outside the Bay Area, who may not be aware of their quality products and inspiring philosophy, now is the time to get acquainted. Founded by Mark Inman in 1993, Taylor Maid has spent the past fifteen years fighting the good fight for the environment, for people and above all for coffee. They have traveled to some of the most remote communities in the world to source the finest 100% organic, shade grown, and fair trade coffee produced by family farms. All that adds up to great tasting coffee and the fact that your purchase not only preserves rare varieties of coffee, but also helps preserve many endangered species, vital watersheds, rainforests, small communities and the survival of family farms. All that in a morning cup-a-joe.

Nice to see another person having such high standards for their coffee provider! I also think that we need to be as socially responsible as possible with our coffee purchases, especially considering how easy it is to do so. If all it takes is trying a new brand, what excuse do we have to not take advantage of that?
