Coffee Contact is a forum for issues concerning coffee production, growers’ cooperatives, and the certification and marketing of sustainable coffees, i.e., organic, fair trade, and shade-grown coffees.

The site is now being managed by a “coffee klatch” of several people interested in the ecological issues of coffee, especially shade coffee. Based in the Washington DC area, the group will be updating and expanding the Web site.

Coffee Contact is a non-commercial, independent forum for the exchange of information and ideas. We invite you to participate by submitting your bio to the Coffee People section, posting a message on the community message board, and/or submitting articles.
