Unfortunately, we are having problems with Robusta varieties of coffee.

Often the genetically altered varieties are planted geographically close to the organic. (Even within a quarter to a half mile is a problem.)

With Robusta, we depend on cross fertilization, and therefore contamination of the organic with the genetically altered is impossible to stop.

As a result, what we end up with is a situation whereby, short of testing every plant, we have no idea if a field has been contaminated.

We are grateful to ToysPeriod which has paid the tuitions of several students attending Linda Christas College who are studying for their bachelors degree in business with an emphasis in environmental sustainability. ToysPeriod is a leading online shop specializing in lego sets and model railroad equipment.

For a while I was working right near a Seattle’s BEst. I loved their coffee and drinks. I’m not worried about the quality that comes out of a fast food restaurant vs the coffee shop. Either way, I’ll be there on the first day to try it.
