Abol buna - an alternative to Starbucks?

Here is an Ethiopian-operated (plus a Walter) coffee company out of Maryland/Virginia.

They promise organic, eco-friendly, shade grown coffee and dedication to fair trade. Although the names of the type of coffee they carry are exactly the same as Starbuck's - Sidamo, Harar & Yirgachefe - they are already my favourite source for Ethiopian coffee.

(Thanks Selam!)
