Its great to see your blog. I am particularly intrigued by your last post and your conversation on direct trade coffee. My close friend (and barista of 7 years) and I are embarking on a sustainable, socially responsible coffee road trip in February. We will travel around most of the US (not the west coast though) visiting coffee shops and roaster that support fair and direct trade.

We just started our blog tonight and we would love if you would check it out. This is our first time ever blogging so wise words on coffee AND blogging are both welcome.

Thanks,
Melanie and Sara
