Columbia Street Roastery is the newest sponsor of Cup For Education.  Columbia Street Roastery has the highest standards for their coffees and teas, but also for their company. "We feel we have a responsibility to give back to the industry, especially to those with the most difficult economic hurdles," says founder and president Mark Herriott.

Columbia Street Roastery has generoulsy co-sponsored the annual traveling teacher for the communities of Sopexcca, in Jinotega, Nicaragua.  Columbia Street Roastery is whole-heartedly dedicated to this project: "It is a marriage and we implore all in the industry to become involved."  Specialty coffee is a luxury, but so many children in coffee-producing countries will never know the meaning of that word. For them, a book, a pencil, a teacher is an extravagance. Let's give them the luxury we so often take for granted.  Visit their website at: www.csrcoffee.com.
