Second Cup's new fair trade and organic coffee
I recently head about Second Cup's new and first certified fair trade and organic Cuzco coffe. I'm already a big Second Cup fan, so I was happy to hear that they jumped on the organic and fair trade bandwagon. Their new brew is from Peru's Quillabamba region, which is just east of Machu Picchu and high up in the Andes.
The roast is quite flavourful, and it's a medium roast so if that's your style, it's very drinkable.
Next time you're grabbing a coffee on the go (with your reusable mug, of course) head to your local Second Cup to give this new brew a try. If you want to take it home, a fresh 1 lb. bag of Cuzco costs $17.50.
Some other brands that offer certified fair trade coffee are Kicking Horse Coffee, Ethical Bean Coffee and, one of my personal faves, Dark City Coffee Company.
What's your favourite coffee?

Daniela,
I am not normally a Second Cup drinker, but decided to give their Cuzco fair trade blend a try. Its a lot milder than I like, generally I like something a lot bolder. However, for a medium roast, it does have a very nice taste and who doesn't like a hint of chocolate once in a while.
Have you tried William Spartivento fair trade organic coffees? Their Kona and Jamaician blends are out of this world and the Kona comes in at about $20 for a 1.75 pound bag (you're not paying for their store overhead).
Off to get another cup.
