Last month BBC radio interviewed me about our pioneering ‘Campaign Coffee’, that helped to start the idea of ethically sourced coffee in Great Britain back in 1976. The broadcast is now available on YouTube (4 minutes):

Comment on Espresso by Cafédirect

We are sorry to hear that you cannot get our espresso coffee from your local store. Although we work closely with Sainsbury’s to ensure that all of our customers have access to their favourite Cafedirect product, however the final decision on what they stock in each store is down to the Sainsbury’s team and sadly not us. I recommend that you speak to the store manager to find out why they no longer stock it and if they will re-stock it. In the meantime you can buy online at http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/cafedirect

With regards to Sainsbury’s reducing our range, we recently gained some new listings in Sainsbury’s, in particular our delicious São Tomé Instant Hot Chocolate, but they did reduce the number of stores that some of our roast and ground coffees are stocked in. Overall our business with Sainsbury’s is growing, they are strong supporters of Fairtrade and we will continue to work with them to ensure Cafedirect products are available to as many people as possible.

I also like the Espresso coffee from Cafe Direct but our local Sainsbury’s in Stirling no longer seem to stock it. It disappeared from the shelves round about August/September. They also seem to have reduced the range of Cafe Direct products that they sell.

This recipe does sound as though it would be very MOREISH. NB ‘moorish’ refers to an association with North Africa – Shakespeare’s Othello was a Moor.
