Just Coffee and Underground Catering Take First Prize in the Madison Food and Wine Show!!!

Posted by Matt Earley at about 2pm on Wednesday October 25, 2006

We are excited to announce that Just Coffee and Underground Catering teamed up to take first place in the coffee and sweets competition at the 2006 Madison Food and Wine Show!

Our winning brew was our light-roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from the OROMIA Co-op paired with Underground Catering's pear and hickory nut cake. In the same competition we also took second place with our Revolution Roast and Renaissance Farm's cinnamon rolls.

As the prize announcer said: "This should put to bed the myth that fair trade coffee has a problem with cup quality".

You rock! And Yirgacheffe rocks. I am loving the bag I have here at home now, though the caffeine truly kicks my butt!

Congratulations!

Thanks a lot you all.

We are really pleased about winning this over some very established local roasters. Sometimes we don't talk enough about how good our coffee is because we are so focused on our social mission. It is cool to see that we can stack up favorably against "the big fellers" here in the Madison area.
