Colombian Coffee with Felipe Sardi
Felipe Sardi (La Palma y El Tucán) wasn't always a coffee producer and exporter. We dig into the early years of failure preluding La Palma as it is today, and what the tipping point was for Felipe and Elisa (co-founder and partner). Felipe talks to us about how organic farming practices haven’t paid off for Colombian coffee farmers, and why the specialty coffee industry should be pushing the limits to become more sustainable.
Brazilian Coffee with Felipe Croce
Felipe Croce (Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza) grew up on his family's coffee farm in Brazil. We talk to Felipe about the complexities of organic coffee farming, the misconceptions of Brazilian coffee, how shifting to organic practices hasn't paid off for Brazilian coffee farmers yet, and what he's doing to bring the farm to roasting partners in the face of the global pandemic.
Colombian Coffee with Tyler Youngblood
Tyler Youngblood (Azahar Coffee Company) co-founded an export company and café while on a road trip with friends through South America in 2010. We talk to Tyler about his role in developing the Colombian specialty coffee sector, co-creating "A Sustainable Coffee Buyer's Guide" and whether it's affordable to pay a dynamic price for coffee.
Honduran Coffee with Benjamin Paz
Benjamin Paz (Beneficio San Vicente) is a coffee farmer, producer, roaster and exporter in Santa Barbara, Honduras. Benjamin talks to us about what producing coffee during a global pandemic looks like, the challenges facing Honduran coffee farmers and answers the question: is producing commercial coffee more sustainable than specialty coffee?
