Hi Tweets,
I was just down at the Pt. Reyes National Seashore, and the visitor's
center carries ABA endorsed Shade Grown Coffee from the Thanksgiving
Coffee Co. in Ft. Bragg, CA. I bought some, but have yet to try it. My
apologies if this is too commercial for the discussion group, but it
seemed there was sufficient interest from past discussion, and the ABA
and Pt Reyes back the concept. The Pt. Reyes Bird Observatory had flyers
on this coffee as well.

BTW, I spoke with a staffer at Starbucks who claims that ALL their
coffee is shade grown, and she said something about certain elevations
being used exclusively as shade growing areas, which is where she says
they buy from. I had some doubts about such a blanket statement, it
seems by now that they would advertise this if it were true.
