Not. This is just Starbucks' version of "relationship coffee." Many of
the most respected artisan roasters are doing similar things on a
smaller scale, working directly with farmers to encourage better
growing and processing methods. The resulting coffees earn higher
prices for the farmers and allow them to at least partly escape the
commodity side of the coffee trade. It is one of the most applauded
developments in specialty coffee.
