I've been drinking a lot of coffee recently and that got me thinking - can you taste the slavery in non-fair-trade coffee?

Nothing like the taste of slavery.

Unless the coffee is made with real africans in it, i doubt you could ever taste the 'slavery'

Not all non fair trade coffee is slavery, its just non fair trade coffee... Plus unlike fair trade, it doesnt taste like watered down packing crate.

Are your Girl Scout cookies made with real Girl Scouts?

No, I think you're all wrong. You can taste slavery. It tastes sweet.

I do prefer the coffee made from real idonesians... it has a certain tang to it that jamacians cant quite match.

I enjoy my fair trade coffee...but I'm the one brewing it, so...yeah.

In that case, it makes one wonder what the "chocolate chips" in those cookies are really made of then  :o :D

It tastes kind of sweaty with the occasional caffeine tinge of the lash. Ah! I've never felt whiter!

It's all in the smell... you can smell not-FAIR coffee and say now THIS is good forced labour and fantastic profit margins. Not like that mamby-pamby FAIR stuff.
