Rogers Estate Coffees Offers Free Delivery and New Christmas Gift Bags of "Fairly Traded" Ground Coffee That Helps Coffee Workers and Protects Nature

BRACKNELL, England, December 15 - UK customers can now treat friends and family to Christmas gift bags of
"Fairly Traded" ground coffee
( www.rogersestatecoffees.co.uk/shop/Fresh-Ground-Filter-Coffee/ )
and enjoy free delivery on all orders over GBP4.95. All purchases help
workers and farmers while protecting nature in coffee communities from Mexico
to Rwanda.

Rogers Estate Coffees - the UK subsidiary of the Lincoln,
California-based Rogers Family Company, a family-owned company whose Fairly
Traded gourmet coffee and tea are sold worldwide - is offering free delivery*
for any order of at least GBP4.95 of its Fairly Traded gourmet coffee. Rogers
Estate Coffees is also launching two new gift bags which make perfect
presents this Christmas. The organic gift bag contains a 24g sachet of each
variety: full flavoured Gorilla Decaf, vibrant Hurricane Espresso,
ultra-smooth Java Love and medium-bodied Rainforest Blend. For the more
adventurous coffee drinker, the flavoured coffee gift bag has a 24g sachet of
each flavour: rich Belgian Chocolate, delicious Chocolate Raspberry, famously
rich Irish Cream and creamy Wild Hazelnut.

Every purchase of Fairly Traded coffee from Rogers Estate Coffees
supports the companies' unique "Coffee Community Aid" program. Community Aid
continuously raises the quality of life for thousands of farmers and workers
while preserving or restoring the environment in coffee growing regions.

The Fairly Traded and Community Aid programs employ a different approach
than other roasters to address the socio-economic and environmental
challenges in coffee growing regions. One difference is that the company pays
farmers more than the average market price - thereby exceeding labelling
organisations' standards - to ensure a farm's long-term viability. Unlike
other programs, the Rogers Family Co. (RFC) ensures that all Community Aid
funds go only to farmers, workers and their families for social or
environmental projects.

Launched in the 1980s after green coffee buyer Pete Rogers vowed to
tackle the "appalling poverty" he witnessed in Guatemala on his first trip to
source, Community Aid has grown dramatically along with the RFC. From its
initial project that involved providing pencils and paper to a struggling
school in Guatemala, Community Aid today turns Fairly Traded coffee into
houses, schools, medical clinics as well as nutritional and educational
programs for workers and their families - while preserving or restoring
native habitat, rainforest, plants and animals in 10 countries. In 2010, the
RFC plans to add 16 farms to Community Aid.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Rogers Family Co. - through
Community Aid - is making a difference in Mexico, Rwanda, Panama, Guatemala,
Ethiopia, Colombia, Nicaragua, Sumatra, Honduras and Papua New Guinea.

Rogers Estate Coffees use high quality Arabica coffee beans grown in
concert with nature. These shade-grown coffee trees - planted above 3,000
feet elevation in the forest - thrive along with the native flora, birds,
reptiles, amphibians and mammals. This approach does not destroy the forest
to create "mono-culture" plantations. Although the yield is lower, the
quality of coffee is higher. In addition to employing its own agronomists,
the company is one of the few - if not the only one - to own coffee farms.
