Re: Anyone For Coffee

Not in South Yorkshire it hasn't - only down in the miserable south! Actually, I don't even think that's true - living in east London for many years, we had lots of very good neighbours (and a few right villains ... ) You might be talking about the 'stiff upper lip' middle class of middle England but it certainly doesn't apply to south Yorks folk (nosey, interfering gasbags perhaps but not snobbish ).

Getting back to the original point .... what is the Rwandan coffee like? I remember when we first got fair-traided coffee from Nicaragua ... it was awful! Has improved a lot now. Indeed coffee production, if you ignore Nestle, is increasingly fair-traded, organic and good tasting. Organic coffee plantations are not natural habitats but they can actually be quite good for wildlife as part of a landscape mosaic with natural forest.
