Does anyone know where to find Fair Trade Coffee? I'm looking for some good-quality Arabica (pref. Ethiopian) coffee after exhausting my stash. Does anyone have the address/phone number of an Ethiopian importer? I'm sure they would have some, if indeed they do exist.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I have contacts with a Papua New Guinea (selling arabica) company, but would have to buy in bulk and pay tariffs. Its grown and sealed at point of origin so is fresher, but they are hesitant about selling here as they have been burned before, so would need serious orders. But its an option and it may take a while to arrange.

Or I could take orders and sell you what specific amount you need, but as I would be acting as a middle man I would need serious offers.

On the topic of coffee, I'm also looking for a good grinder, something that could become a family heirloom (i.e., not the cheap ones from Shinsegae) Are there any good shops in Seoul or online?

What do you mean by serious offers--large quantity, or prepaid? I'm interested.

There used to be a great place in apkujongdong, the owner roasted on the premises, and sold high quality accessories. Hopefully it's still around someone here remembers the name... Embarassed There was also one on the south west side of Samsung Plaza in Bundang.
