GLO UPGRADES TO EVE

FEBRUARY 13, 2006 (UK) As a result of Glo´s continued success over the past 2 years, we are pleased to announce to our rebranding into The Eve Coffee Company.
"Our Commitment to Fair Trade values and selling great tasting freshly roasted coffee remains unchanged." said Wendy Holt, " and we´re excited about the coming launch of our new blends from the RainForest Alliance."
This comes as part of the package of new investment and an increase in our staff to help us continue to meet high standards we set and promote the way of Fairly Traded coffee.

COFFEE DRINKERS GET DELICIOUS NEW FAIRTRADE CHOICE

MARCH 14, 2004 (UK) Glo Coffee today announced its public launch, and immediate availability of its fine range of freshly roasted coffees. Glo brings a deliciously tempting proposition for coffee drinkers through its commitment to coffee excellence and fair treatment of producers. Combining a high quality variety of coffee beans with a roast-to-order service, customers can purchase online at www.glocoffee.com and their orders will be dispatched within 48 hours of roasting. Additionally, all coffee made by Glo bears the FAIRTRADE Mark.

Wendy Holt, Managing Director and Founder of Glo Coffee explains:

"There are a number of factors to consider when trying to make the perfect cup, not least of which are: the quality of the beans; the roasting method; and the period of time that has passed since the coffee was roasted and ground. Glo uses the highest quality Arabica beans, which we roast for maximum taste. We always wait until an order has been placed before we roast: this ensures that when the coffee is received it is at its optimum, and will stay fresh longer."

Coffee supplied by Glo is packaged in air-tight bags containing a one-way valve: this allows it to be packaged immediately after roasting and will therefore be at its absolute freshest when it arrives. The range includes Single Origins, Glo Blends, and Espresso, with whole bean and multiple grind options. Most of the range is also certified Organic.

Describing Glo's relationship with the Fairtrade Foundation, Holt also stated:

"In establishing Glo, it became very clear to us that we had to source our products in a responsible way. Whilst there are various levels of fairness in the treatment of coffee farmers within our industry today, we believe that only coffee carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark has the independent guarantee that producers in developing countries are getting a better deal."

In addition to consumer sales, Glo supplies business customers, coffee shops, restaurants and retail food establishments, with special discounts available to charities, churches and not-for-profit organisations.

Glo Coffee is a member of the SCAE (Speciality Coffee Association of Europe), a trade association committed to quality and coffee excellence.
