Giving You Paz
The Bite
Watery corner-store coffee making you rethink your java routine? Hurry and grab some mostly shade-grown, fair-trade blends from De La Paz Coffee. Sourcing its beans from co-ops of small farms, DLP's light and medium roasts, such as the citrus-y La Luna blend, pack surprisingly up-front flavors. And if (well, when) you develop a sudden craving for the chocolate goodness of the organic Sumatra Mandheling, DLP will deliver it for free - by bike - anywhere in SF. Hit up the Mission warehouse, and get a buck off when you refill one of its signature paper sacks. Just go for it.
Wanna Try
De La Paz Coffee, available online or at 933 Treat Ave. at 23rd St. (415-259-4562). Sumatra Mandheling, $6 for 1/2 lb bag.
