A better morning really does start with a cup O' Jo, so why not a better world? That's the logic behind the Ugandan interfaith coffee cooperative Mirembe Kawomera ("Delicious Peace") that boasts a collective contingency of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian partners. We'll leave out the part about it being located on a dormant volcano, for now.

Mirembe Kawomera Cooperative was created by JJ Keki, an Abayudaya Jew and the current co-op leader. To create the cooperative, Mr. Keki traveled on foot, knocking on each of his neighbor's doors, asking Jews, Muslims, and Christians to put aside their differences and join him to create an extraordinary partnership. Keki was assisted by Kulanu, a U.S.-based NGO and long-time supporter of the Abayudaya ("Jewish people" in Luganda.

Personally, I think the Jewcy office should opt for the Espresso Roast (it's the proper journalist brew) but stock up a bit on the nutmeg, pecan-flavored Light Roast in case I ever breeze into town. It's for a good cause, I think.
