Update: The ethical clash in my coffee circle

At our weekly coffee meetup, someone praised a new bean supplier. I know that supplier has bad environmental practices. I stayed quiet to avoid drama, but it's eating at me. Should I speak up or let it go? It's ruining my enjoyment of our gatherings.

Wait, you knew and didn't say anything? That's messed up.

Maybe they had a reason?

In my coffee club last spring, we learned our beans came from a farm with poor labor conditions. Speaking up actually brought us closer because we found a better supplier together. @angela_grant11 might be right that there are reasons, but not knowing the full story can make things worse. Your quiet stress is probably obvious to others and hurting the group vibe. I say share what you know in a calm way at the next meetup.
