Fair Trade "Direct" Coffee - Step 3 - The Roaster
This is where Fair Trade "Direct" and Fair Trade coffee separate on their respective journeys to the consumer in the United States and Europe. Fair Trade "Direct" coffee is roasted in Costa Rica and sold via the internet to consumers in the US. Coopepueblos sells approx. 1% of their coffee through this medium. The rest is exported to either the US or Europe through Coocafe, a Fair Trade certified exporter. We will be following both routes as the coffee makes its way out of Costa Rica.

CAFTA Protest - February 26th, 2007
This is footage of the protest in San Jose, Costa Rica against CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) on Feb 26th. This is a very raw, unedited video blog. We are going to be making a series of video blogs that explain the complexities of this free trade agreement with the United States. We wanted to get this video blog out ASAP for the world to know what is going on here in Costa Rica. Stay tuned in the next couple of months to learn more about what is at stake.
