Stories & Beer: Numi Tea and Fair Trade USA

By Nick Aster

Thanks to everyone who dropped by in person and online. An archive of tonight's conversation is on the youtube video below:

Please join us in person or online for our latest "Stories & Beer Fireside Chat" next Wednesday the 24th at 6:30 Pacific time when I'll be chatting with Brian Durkee, Numi Tea's VP of Operations alongside Nora Pittenger, of Fair Trade USA.

As always, this chat will be about an hour long and begin with a brief interview.  We'll then open it up to audience members who want to talk about the meaning of "fair trade".

If you are in the Bay Area, please register here to attend in person.  If not, just bookmark this page and we'll have a live streaming video of the whole event ready for you to be virtually present.

In the meantime, if you'd like to get the conversation rolling early, please leave comments or questions and I'll make an effort to incorporate them into my interview and the ensuing discussion.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, DON'T WORRY!  We'll be broadcasting the chat live on our Google Plus channel.  Just bookmark this post and we'll have a you-tube style interface you can click on when the chat begins, or to watch later.
