    What I'm looking for is the trifecta of organic, shade grown, fair trade coffee. All in one coffee. I think if I drank such a coffee, on my death bed, I'd receive total consiousness.

    I'm so for that -- let's stick to some 20-year old stereotypes and then let's tax and regulate our US and Brit companies outta existance so we just have to answer to:

    Saudi Aramco
    NIOC (Iran)
    Qatar Petroleum
    Gazprom (Russia)
    PDVSA (Venezuela)

    I'm sure THEY have the best interests of humanity and our planet in mind! But honestly, sorry if it was indeed this above list you were referring to (and all western companies don't even add up to ONE of these five) for these "national" oil companies (i.e. owned by the state) surely ARE still murdering and leaving cess pools in their wake -- but western companies are quite awake and aware these days, and slandering them with claims of murder and cess pools doesn't quite add to the debate.

    Just wanna say, the Exxon, Shell, BP et al employees are all on your side.

    Ok, sorry, back on topic -- ewww, bananas!

    all oil companies have done in the last 20 years is hired better pr firms and learned to leave no trace of their doings ... but you can be sure their role in crimes around the world are no less evil ...

    The coffee that I listed, Cafe Monteverde, does offer an organic, shade grown and fair trade coffee. :D

    fair trade organic shade grown coffee is very easy to find here in toronto ... a lot of coffee shops sell it but if you have your own grinder - you can buy the beans at most health food/natural food stores ...

    If I did a little digging I'd probably find it here in Houston. We're a big city but there aren't an abundance of good coffee houses here. At least in the burbs. It's all chain stores, as far as the eye can see. And health food stores? No way. Okay, they did just build a Whole Foods Market in Sugar Land, which is the burb next to me.
