Steve Bates said...: A tiny, trendy bird-related shop near my PO Box carried Song Bird Coffee, and for a number of years I drank their Costa Rican coffee most mornings. Then the tiny, trendy shop went out of business, after surviving more than five years. Now I drink mostly allegro (sic, lowercase initial rather like "hipparchia") sold at Whole Foods. At the moment, there's a bag of Peet's French Roast in the pantry; many of their coffees are shade-grown, but I'm not sure about this one. Well, all of that was TMI, but there are some good sources if one looks around.; Monday, March 31, 2008 8:56:00 AM
Archaeopteryx said...: You know I love the birdies, and, not being a coffee drinker myself, I appreciate so much everything that people do to help them.

But I read this and despair. I can recycle bags and cans from now until I die, and not undo the damage done to the birds--and everything else--by one day's use of ethanol.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to start drinking heavily. And not coffee, either.; Tuesday, April 01, 2008 5:30:00 PM
