Ethiopian coffee prices
The movie, Black Gold, has been on my list of movies to see since I first heard of it. I love Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee. It has a beautiful, fruity taste. Should I be concerned about exploitation of Ethiopian coffee farmers? It’s on my radar, I just need to be educated.
I was pretty shocked to read in the Guardian that roasters are getting $20-26 per pound for Ethiopian beans. I don’t pay anywhere near that and I bet a lot of other people don’t either. My favorite roaster charges less than $11. Is the source of that $20+ data point trying exaggerate any perceived exploitation by inflating the retail prices?
