My name is Ty Paluska,  I used to be manager of Copper River Coffee & Tea in Peoria, IL.  Recently I've embarked on starting my own shop here in downtown Peoria with a couple other partners and are looking for a distributor that has a decent price some fair trade organic coffees.  Most of our coffee for in house we don't mind spending more money on, however,  One of our first large wholesale accounts is a non-for profit business that donates all of their proceeds to orphaned children and the couple that runs the company is located near us and they'd like to use a more local roaster than they currently use.  They want all of their coffee to be fair trade and organic.  However, they also have a budget that's pretty small.  I don't know who their roaster is now but apparently he is able to find something for them in their price range that's fair trade and organic and still somehow make some money. 

We need a Columbian, Columbian Decaf, Ethiopian, and Guatemalan. And they have to have the Fair Trade and Organic label


We really want this account because they are doing cool stuff but they also move a lot of coffee and it would help us considerably.

Thanks for your time!
