On the Grid : Merchants Of Green Coffee

"Committed to sustainability, Merchants of Green Coffee is a beacon for ethical coffee practices. They import their beans green and process them using renewable energy. Their exclusive blend is called Cafe Solar®, and opt to sell their products at local farmer's markets. Merchants of Green has a ridiculous amount of programming - from workshops on the origins of coffee, to roasting and home brewing. They also offer cuppings to refine your palette and learn the distinctions between different single origin beans. They have a massive, full-service café with space for lounging, catching up with a pal, or settling in for an afternoon of work. They also sell home brew equipment, and offer a Fresh Coffee Network club. If that weren't enough, they also have a 3000 sqft loft space that they rent out for special events of the corporate meeting and wedding variety." - Medina Abdelkader
