Ellen, Maureen, Tweets,

I have, like others, written to Starbucks about shade-grown coffee.
Clearly, they are just lying.

About a year ago I made the reluctant decision to give up Starbucks and
it was and still is my favorite coffee. I sspecifically would buy only
Starbucks out or for home. It was almost as hard as giving up
cigarettes. No coffee tastes as good but I can't drink it knowing what
growing their product does to the habitat. QFC got the message and they
carry shade grown coffee in their health food section. Also PCC has
posted which of their brands are shade grown and which are just organic.

I encourage everyone to keep pestering Starbucks.
