Descrição: After a trip to Nicaragua in 1985, Paul Katzeff, the owner of the Thanksgiving Coffee Company, changed his company's slogan to “Not Just a Cup, but a Just Cup,” and labeled the Nicaraguan beans he roasted as “Coffee for Peace.” When the Reagan administration banned the import of all Nicaraguan goods, Katzeff evaded the embargo by having Nicaraguan beans shipped to Canada and roasted there. A year later, three men who had met while working in a food co‐op formed Equal Exchange. Their first product was “Café Nica,” Nicaraguan coffee brought to the United States via the Netherlands (Equal Exchange 2008). Following the lead of European activists, organizations such as the Thanksgiving Coffee Company and Equal Exchange built a small niche market of socially conscious coffee drinkers in the United States.
