Specialty coffee on NPR

Peterg The Kojo Nnamdi show, out of WAMU in Washington, DC, had a segment on specialty coffee this week. Guests were Counter Culture's Peter Giuliano (gratuitous photo of Peter and I at right; I've been waiting for an excuse to post this); Ric Rhinehart, Executive Director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America; Ryan Jensen, owner of Peregrine Espresso in DC; and Dale Roberts, owner of Java Shack in Arlington, VA. 

Last month the Washington Post also had a terrific article about Counter Culture.

While I'm giving some love to great coffee and Counter Culture, the new crop of their Finca Nueva Armenia is in, and it is as fantastic, if not more so, than it was when we reviewed it last year. This is organic and also certified Smithsonian Bird-Friendly (although not marketed as such by Counter Culture) -- it's as good as super-sustainable coffee gets.

“Sustainable coffee is produced on a farm with high biological diversity and low chemical inputs. It conserves resources, protects the environment, produces efficiently, competes commercially, and enhances the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.” -Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, First Sustainable Coffee Congress
