Bernard's story is incredible, after working in impact investment for various financial institutions here in Europe, he bought a coffee farm in Honduras and moved there 2 years later, and is now selling his coffee through CrowdFarming!Bernard's project is so much more than just coffee, to start, his coffee is called “Melipona bee coffee”, Melipona is the name of a family of stingless bees native to the tropics. As an organic coffee farmer, Bernard has always had in mind to plant plants to attract pollinators, among them the melipona bee. It is a kind of bee that hardly anyone knows about (although it is mentioned in the podcast bee happy) which is why Bernard is a big promoter! He is a “meliponiculturist” which means he also produces honey from these bees! On top of this, his farm also runs social projects, trainings with his staff and more. If you want to know more about the farming and production process of coffee and also discover Bernard's wonderful and inspiring story, you will love this episode.

What happens when a real estate investment goes sideways? An international business was impacted—Panama coffee farms. The pandemic disrupted coffee supply chains and labor. Erratic weather affected crop yields. It's been about four years since we've discussed this on the show. The Panamanian government shut down many businesses. There was little or no government assistance for idled workers. The co-founder explains Panama coffee problems and opportunities. Learn why the coffee parcel deed issuance has been slow for investors. There's a new distribution partner going forward, named Typica. They help sell the coffee. This is all high-end, specialty coffee, like the geisha variety. Coffee farm parcels are in the volcanic soil highlands of western Panama, near Boquete. It's shade-grown.

Byron Holcomb, specialty coffee manager in Guatemala joins us to talk about coffee origin issues and what makes a good green coffee buyer.
In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Katie Thomas and Fred Cowell to talk about the impact soil has on the quality of the coffee you drink. Fred is the general manager of the Kauai Coffee Company in Hawaii. It is the largest coffee producing farm in the United States and is also known as the 'Disneyland of Coffee'. Fred explains why he told his team they were going to 'stop growing coffee and start growing soil'. They also discuss why volcanic soil is so good for coffee growing and the role that both microbiology and water play in soil health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Coffee plants need about 17 different nutrients for optimal growth. Coffee plant grow optimally at a pH of between 4.9 and 5.6. Healthy microbiology is essential - without it the plants cannot utilize the nutrients in the soil. Water is simply a carrier for the nutrients. Root vegetables play a vital role in revitalizing soil for coffee. Find out why in the episode. So much of the health of a tree depends on what happens underground. The waste products from producing the beans (like pulp and chaff), when combined, make a compost that coffee trees love. BEST MOMENTS ‘The principles we talk about today apply to anything you grow. ´ ‘Optimal soil leads to an optimal cherry, bean and, ultimately, coffee!' ‘There are more microorganisms in a tablespoon of soil than there are humans on earth!'

In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Stefan Tribble and Steph Parsons to continue their discussion about how the way the beans are grown affects the taste. Today, they are talking about the impact elevation has on the coffee we drink. They delve into how elevation impacts the rate of growth, the density of the bean, and the taste profile. Importantly, you will also learn about some simple tricks you can use to quickly pick out the best-tasting coffees - tips you can use whether you are buying beans or a cup of coffee. KEY TAKEAWAYS Just like humans, coffee beans are impacted by the fact the air is thinner at high altitudes. The higher it grows, the denser the bean is, which has a positive impact on the taste. The variety that is grown and which country it grows in also plays into the elevation/taste equation. There are exceptions to the rule. Some coffees that are grown at low elevations still have superior taste profiles. Examples are shared in the episode. Coffee farms near the coast and on islands also have the potential to produce high-quality beans. Coffees grown in mountainous areas near the equator typically have the highest potential for giving you that perfect cup. The coffee cherry matures slower at higher elveations, which contributes positively to the flavor. BEST MOMENTS ‘The coffee farm has about a 50% impact on your cup.´ ‘With higher density, you´re gonna get a higher cup quality.' ‘With coffee, if you can grow it slower….., then you will have a higher quality.'

In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Rob Hoos of Iteration Coffee and Hoos Coffee Consulting. He is a coffee roasting consultant who has visited numerous coffee farms during his career. Today, he provides insight into what modern coffee farming is like. Rob speaks about the different coffee farming business models he has seen. Everything from harvesting coffee from wild bushes to running huge heavily mechanized farms. They also discuss some of the challenges the farmers face. Including dealing with diseases, and pests and gaining and maintaining organic certification. As well as talking about the challenge of making sure that those who work in the industry are not exploited by having to work long hours for little pay. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many coffee farmers still run small farms. Some even pick it from wild trees. In places, farmers take small batches of coffee to a central processing point or a co-operative facility. There are also large-scale, highly mechanized farms in every country. In many areas, people are still working for little pay. Specialty coffee is helping to change that. Fighting disease and pests is expensive and can negatively impact the quality of the product. Naturally dried coffee has a nicer flavor profile. BEST MOMENTS ‘For example, harvesting coffee in Ethiopia where they don´t even necessarily own the trees. ´ ‘Specialty coffee …. saves coffee farmers by giving them better pricing.' ‘Coffee is actually more nuanced than wine.'

What a fun conversation! I truly hope you make your dream of buying a coffee farm and creating the change you desire in Colombia a reality. Your genuine care for your family and the people of Colombia is admirable and I cant wait to see how it turns out. Maybe one day I can come down there and we can ride "burros" around the farm and watch the kids explore. Hopefully, you will have your YouTube channel going by then and we can document it! hahaFavorites Coffee Books: Coffee Roasting Best Practices: https://amzn.to/38uRJih (Deep in the weeds)The World Atlas of Coffee: https://amzn.to/3s4tiQg (Overall view of the coffee stages)My Mic I use: Shure MV7 Mic: https://amzn.to/3fakq72Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/robpirie?fan_landing=true)

Our first in-person podcast guest is Edwin Martinez, the CEO of Onyx Coffee and third generation Guatemalan coffee producer at Finca Vista Hermosa. They import spectacular Guatemalan coffees for roasters to add to their menu. Edwin has an inspiring story that starts in Guatemala at origin and navigates through starting a coffee shop, owning a coffee roasting business, and now importing coffee. On this episode of the Coffee Roaster Warm Up Sessions, we dive into his story and touch up on running a business, importing coffee, sustainability, and more.
Pablo was such a cool dude to speak with and I learned a ton about Guatemala during our conversation. For me, it was one country I did not know that much about. Very enlightening conversation to say the least. From being a lawyer, playing rugby, working at coffee shops, to roasting and processing coffee Pablo has lived a life! Our first conversation before ever hopping on the podcast was about following a path you love and work you enjoy. That conversation was very inspiring and I look forward to pursuing my dream into coffee deeper and following in his footsteps so to speak. Thanks again Pablo for the wonderful conversation and look forward to collaborating with you in the future.

In this episode we speak with Martín Granda from Siempre Verde Farm. He is a coffee producer from Ecuador and I had a great time speaking with him. He was very knowledgeable about the coffee practices down there and we dove deep into the fermentation type of processing that they do. He surprised me with how many crops they grow and "Ferns" actually being their main one hence the name of their farm "Always Green". He details how they initially got into specialty coffee and goes back into the history of his grandparent's experience with coffee farming. Martín is was one of those people I could "talk coffee" with for hours. I really enjoyed this conversation and look forward to meeting him at his farm one day. I hope you enjoy his story as much as I did. Amazing dude for sure! Go check out his coffee and contact him below if you are interested in buying any. His information can be found below.

First of all, I want to give a big shout-out to Nate for being my first guest! I was nervous and after the audio failed me I was pretty stressed. Being in business and knowing how things go he quickly put me to ease and was super chill about it all. Could not have asked for a better guest to begin this journey with. Nate is one of the owners of Reve Coffee Roasters and Reve Coffee Lab which is one of the cutting-edge coffee roasteries and shops in Louisiana. He started this journey when he was 21 after quitting college. I love hearing stories like that. Bucking the waves and chasing your dream. I can't wait to have him on again later down the road and see what they are up to. Hope you enjoyed the listen!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/robpirie?fan_landing=true)
Leah Malot, a veteran athlete and now a Nominated Member of the County Assembly of Uasin Gishu has been encouraging farmers to venture into coffee farming to boost their income. As a result, she decided to embrace coffee farming in 3 acres of her Kaptagat farm to set an example to the farmers. She started coffee farming in 2019 and is about to start harvesting her crop. In today's Agritalk show, she talks to Faith Kutere on the steps of coffee farming and the input needed to produce the best coffee quality.

This week I want to talk to you about where native coffee yeast come from. If you are concerned about coffee flavor manipulation by yeast, I hope by the end of the episode you have a broader understanding of where "native" yeast originally came from.To help illustrate the point, we start with non traditional coffee growing regions like Southern California.In the episode I will also be sharing research from Dr. Amiee Dudley.I met Dr. Aimee Dudley in 2017 during SCA EXPO in Seattle when we were on a Re:CO Panel together talking about yeast. I was offering the perspective of practical application of yeast, how coffee producers in situ could use it and Dr. Dudley was presenting her research on yeast genetics. She runs a lab at Pacific North West Research Institute and she is an expert on yeast genetics.Support the show on Patreon and get access to research papers.Sign up for the newsletter for new podcast releases.Cover Art by: Nick HafnerInto song: Elijah BisbeeMentioned in the Episode:The Coffee Podcast: Jay RuskeyFrinj CoffeeDr. Aimee Dudley's Research Lab
La cultura en torno al cultivo del café es uno de los tesoros que esconde el occidente andino colombiano. También es una excusa perfecta para descubrir paisajes, pueblos y ciudades. Empezamos por Medellín, capital de Antioquia, el más septentrional de los departamentos que integran este alargado corredor de cafetales de altura. Allí conversamos con Julio Casadiego, gerente de la agencia Colombia Travel Solutions, y con Catalina Jiménez, directora comercial de la Hacienda la Sierra. El director de Procolombia para España, Silverio Gómez, nos conduce por el paisaje cultural cafetero, un amplio sector de esta ruta que goza del reconocimiento y protección de la Unesco; comprende las regiones de Caldas, Risaralda, Quindío y Cauca. En la localidad quindiana de Buenavista nos espera Juan Pablo Villota, propietario de la Hacienda San Alberto, donde se produce el café más premiado del país. Con Diego Bolaños y Henry López –gerentes, respectivamente, de los turoperadores Valkt Tour y Tapiz de Retazos– exploramos la hermosa y accidentada orografía de Nariño antes de asomarnos a Huila. Su capital, Neiva, es la ciudad natal de Arvey Granada, que nos espera junto a su esposa Elisabeth Sepúlveda en La Unión Coffee Farm, una finca cafetera que brinda alojamiento y un contacto directo con la realidad agrícola, social y cultural de Risaralda.

The sustainable production of coffee, and indeed other crops, is more of a cultural rather than environmental commitment according to the manager of the largest coffee farm in the United States. Fred Cowell, met Kevin Cassidy, the Director of the ILO’s office for the United States, at sunrise at the farm he manages on Kauai. Mr Cassidy began by asking him if the techniques used at the farm were replicable in other parts of the world.

Hello friends,Today I want to share an interview with Sofia Handtke from Mapache Coffee in El Salvador. I recorded this last November at the end of my time with them. That was my second season working with them and designing fermentation lots at their mill. Over the last 2 harvest seasons we've done about 40 different batches combining 4 strains of yeast, 3 cultivars and various lengths (# of hours in the tank) in an effort to create additional flavor options.I wanted to interview Sofia and Jan Carlo together but they have a small mill team and a lot of responsibilities so I caught them when I could. In the interview with Jan Carlo we spoke about how Mapache is embracing vertical integration, how he believes this current generation is more open to sharing information, and some of his struggles like disease pressures and how climate change has impacted his farming philosophy. You can catch my conversation with him HERE.In this conversation I ask Sofia to share her Q Grader experience and talk about her background in coffee. She believes that getting coffee producers and buyers using the same standard language is very important but unfortunately it’s still out of reach for many producers in Central and South America—this is a topic that deserves it’s own episode and it's in the works. She shares what it was like growing up in a coffee farm and how she and Jan Carlo are engaging their two teenage children to inspire them to see the coffee industry as a career option, unlike her parent’s generation, many of which had to abandon the industry because it was no longer a viable way to make a living.She shares some fantastic insights about coffee branding and marketing and the coffee gear she takes when she travels.

I have a positive coffee story for you today. A drop of genius and hope in the dark ocean of bitterness. This is where transition always starts isn’t it? When I found out that with each cup of commercial - or fairtrade - coffee that we drink we perpetuate extreme poverty and child labour, I was ready to fall into denial . I was thinking about all of the cups of coffee I had in my life...
#27: In this episode, we sit down with David Sewell, the Founder of the International Coffee Farms, to discuss all the details on how this investment opportunity works, why it makes sense, and what type of investors it might appeal to.(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/27)Aside from the solid, long-term prospective income that can come from this kind of investment, it also provides a good, honest career for the local farmers and their families in Boquete, Panama. They get paid living wages that include education, medical, pension, and accommodation benefits.If you care at all about investing in socially and environmentally sustainable projects that actually help people and improve the world (i.e. – things that give real estate investors and capitalism a good name), this is something you'll probably be interested in.
We have bought coffee from Alejo for the last two seasons, and will continue to do so in the future since we believe his families farm Volcan Azul produces some of the best coffee in Costa Rica. This conversation is a unique insight into the mind of a modern coffee farmer. We talked about what challenges and opportunities they are facing today, as well as the long family tradition that they continue, with coffee trading records dating back as far as 200 years. We are really happy to be able to share this conversation with you.
Ervin Liz is an indigenous Colombian of the Nasa tribe who grew up on a coffee farm helping his family plant, pick, process, and sell their harvest. Years later co-founded The Colombian Coffee Connection where he imports, roasts, and sells the coffee sourced from his home in Colombia direct to the consumer and gives 10% of all profits to charitable initiatives on the farm. Relationship coffee does not get more intimate than that! In this interview we get to hear about Ervin's story, the company's founding, and Ervins perspective on the effectiveness of certifications and their impact on the farmer. We also discuss the trend of internal consumption of specialty coffee at origin, and what shops can do to best represent the farmer to their customers. This is a great opportunity to see the entire supply chain through the yes of someone who has literally done it all. Enjoy!

The Origin Trip. A pinnacle moment for any barista and a regular part of business for roasters and importers. As "The Origin Trip" has become a more fashionable, marketable, and regular occurrence in specialty coffee there are questions and tensions come up. What is the true value of an trip to origin? How does it benefit the farmer? Is it worth the expense involved? Are we really advancing coffee? How can we approach the trip and make it mutually beneficial? To answer these questions and give us some solid insight on how to think about travel to origin we are joined by Kim-Elena Ionescu, Chief Sustainability Officer at the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) I hope this episode gives you a better understanding of our part to play in the producer/retailer relationship and that if you find yourself going to origin you would be better equipped to make all around rewarding one.

Anyone would be surprised to learn that coffee is grown in Korea of all places, since coffee plants are known to grow in tropical regions like South America or Africa. Nonetheless, Goheung-gun County in southern Korea is home to roughly 20 coffee farms. This week's trip includes a visit to a coffee farm in Goheung and a sampling of locally produced coffee at the farm's coffee shop, as well as a barista-for-a-day program where visitors learn how to roast and hand-drip coffee.
Over the years, we’ve seen quite a few different styles of speaker presentations: those that share a particular experience or paradigm; those that ask provoking questions (some with potential solutions, some without); the presentation of finished research; those that offer a glimpse of new work, still in progress. Whilst each is valuable in their own right, there is something undeniably special about seeing new ideas put into practice without any certainty as to the outcome: these presentations offer us the opportunity to not only become a part of the speakers’ journey, but also—once the work has been completed—as a later snapshot of the learning that has taken place. This week’s release, “Soil Biology” by Tim Wendelboe, falls into this latter category of presentations: Tim shares with us his journey to understand and apply Dr. Elaine Ingham’s concepts of soil biology, biological farming, and thermal composting to his farm project, Finca El Suelo in Colombia. Regardless of how these concepts positively or negatively impact Finca El Suelo’s production in the coming years, it is inspiring to see a barista accepting responsibility in creating a plausible future for quality coffee: “I have a lot of crazy ideas that might or might not improve the coffee quality, but I am not willing to ask the farmers I buy from to risk their income and coffee in order to test and experiment for me” (Tim Wendelboe to Leif Haven, Eater.com). -- During his eight years with Stockfleth’s in Oslo, Norway, Tim Wendelboe went from shop barista to manager, growing sales as well as the staff’s coffee knowledge at one of Stockfleth’s three shops, to their head of quality and training, running 6 stores together with his friend and colleague Alexander Scheen Jensen. It was during his time at Stockfleth’s that Tim, in 2004, after placing second in the World Barista Championship in both 2001 and 2002, was crowned World Barista Champion. He is also the 2005 World Cup Tasters Champion. In July 2007, Tim started his own espresso bar, training centre, and micro-roastery at Grünerløkka, in Oslo, called Tim Wendelboe, where he imports, roasts, and sells high quality coffee. The company aims to be among the best roasteries in the world. Although this is not measurable, Tim Wendelboe won the Nordic roaster competition in 2008, 2009 and in 2010. The company currently sells coffee to around 50 cafes and restaurants in Norway and also around the world. In 2009, Tim wrote and published a book in Norwegian based on his direct trade experience; “Coffee with Tim Wendelboe”, which gives the reader an introduction into how quality coffee is produced, roasted, and brewed, has since been translated into Korean, English, Mandarin and will be available in Japanese shortly. Tim also published the book ”Finca Tamana” in 2013 about his ongoing work and relationship with the coffee producer Elias Roa and his farm Finca Tamana.--Want to see more?

In this episode Willem Boot talks about the past and future of Central American coffee, reveals the hidden gem of the region and describes how to start a successful coffee farm.
Among the many places people gather in Downtown Spartanburg to grab a meal or a drink, Little River Coffee Bar is certainly one of the busiest. Serving up espresso drinks and coffee in the Grain Distirct alongside its sister shops Cakehead Bakeshop and Hub City Bookshop, there's hardly a morning at The Coffee Bar where you won't see a who's who of important local figures getting their caffeine fix. Little River isn't just any coffee shop though. For starters, all of the coffee served at Little River Coffee Bar is roasted at Little River Roasting, fewer than two miles away. Much of that coffee also comes from farms that have a direct relationship with Little River, farms located in in far-flung reaches of the world like Cameroon, Costa Rica, and the country . Today on the podcast, we sit down with Geier to get some details of their trip and the unique relationship this great local business has with its suppliers.
Poul interviews the one and only Aida Batlle, from the legendary Finca Kilimanjaro about her success as an award winning coffee farmer and the somewhat controversial topic of zero defect coffee.
Poul shares his experiences, video and stories from a recent trip to judge the Honduras Cup of Excellence and tour coffee farms in the hills of Honduras.
