Hello lovely people. Today we are joined by the coffee powerhouse, Daniel Seyoum. Daniel's family have been growing coffee in Ethiopia for over 45 years, with Daniel himself running farms using traditional agricultural practices. He now heads two successful cafes in Melbourne. Both Ageyo and Little Ezida have grown wildly successful, with a focus on ethical and direct trade.  In this conversation, Daniel provides a unique and valued perspective on coffee farming and its history; on everything from goats discovering caffeine to the health risks associated with farming malpractice.  We are so grateful to Daniel for sharing his story regarding the internal conflict in Ethiopia and its impact on not only the coffee industry but his family and the wider community.  Plus, Kirk and Rohan are back with some coffee news (good news for coffee addicts), and Rohan has a bone to pick about the ever growing variations of milk.  If you're new here (what's up!), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day, that It's Just Coffee! We were so lucky to have Daniel on the show this week. If you love this chat, make sure to follow us @itsjustcoffee, and check out Daniel at @ageyocoffee and @little_ezida. Thank-you for joining us for ep 6! Hope you have a delicious week of coffee!

The Aregash Lodge in Yirg Alem is an oasis! I always look forward to staying here on the way to the southern coffee growing areas of Yirga Cheffe, Kochore, Gedeb, and Shakiso. It's owned by Gregorg and his family, since 2003. But last year it was attacked by a local mob and one of the main buildings burnt to the ground. (Nobody was hurt). It's wonderful to be back, and beautiful as ever, but a bit uncanny. Things are not always as they seem in Ethiopia, certainly for an outsider. It leads me to think about this social unrest, ethnic clashes, but also the way America is seen by my Ethiopian friends, equally unsafe and incomprehensible. I am not sure why, but talking about a place I barely know like Ethiopia (despite coming here for so many years) only makes me reflect back on my country, as I know it. I feel the same misunderstandings I probably carry about Ethiopia are parallel to the things I hear my travel companions say about the US. Then again, it seems they could be right … and I could be right too. When can you say you know a place? In what way do you know it, and in what way is it unknowable? The tourist myth of “strange lands” redirects back to “home”. I am not sure I know either. What sucks about this recording is trying to speak on behalf of a place, behalf of a country. How can I? I try to assure Teshe that America is not as unsafe as it sounds. Everyone is not armed. But I hear of their friends held up at gunpoint in the US, and they say “yes, you can get robbed in Addis but nobody is going to shoot you! “ How can I respond? And this is a country emerging (hopefully) from civil war! I guess there's good reason for my unclear thoughts and sentences in this recording. It's hard to find clarity in this. I hope you disagree with some things I say in here because I already have my own quibbles with them. 

I really was on the fence about uploading this episode. One the one hand, this is stuff I have already said, about photography and coffee travel, about marketing, about representation. It feels like I am just hung up on this. Does anyone care? On the other hand, the second part of this is about a conflict I got into in Shakiso for taking a photo with my phone. And I kinda spun out on it. I think of podcasts as a thing where people want to hear someone talk clearly and with great confidence. That's not how I feel. But I am deciding to go ahead and post this long recording, because people can always just stop listening if they don't like it. You decide!  Intro: I end up thinking a lot about photography and coffee travel. Taking pictures is an important part of documenting my trip (and also tagging photo locations with the camera GPS). But for me, it is complicated by things I can't ignore. I guess since I have a masters in photo from my time in Chicago, it makes sense I am going to be aware of what it means to take photos, who the audience is for them, who the subject is, and how they function in relation to commodifying a product. For me, critical thinking around photo practice can be challenging but I feel it pushes me to think differently, and be aware of what it means to make images. This starts out with my thoughts about what it means to carry this big bulky camera around, but “Part 2” (at 25 min. in)  is about this conflict I got into down in Shakiso because I took a photo of a car that “I shouldn't have taken”. It wasn't that bad, I wasn't going to go to jail or anything. But I found it made me spin out quite a bit, and it had an impact on those I was traveling with. It just made me think a lot. I am aware the title Coffee Photograpy Power sounds a bit pretentious. It is probably! I feel it is about power though. so...

I am in Agaro town in the Western coffee region near Jimma and Limmu. It feels like I am 70% in Ethiopia and 30% still back in Oakland. Despite jet lag, I talk about what I have learned so far about the competition for coffee cherry, and how the cooperatives are at a disadvantage when well-funded exporters open up coffee stations in the area. It's not all bad. Coffee farmers are selling cherry at high prices, which helps offset local inflation. I also added on some thoughts about Covid in Ethiopia and some interesting comments I heard from my Ethiopian.  This is part 1 of a series of recordings I made over morning coffee nearly every day on my December trip. They aren't perfect. They are monologues. They are a little embarrassing. But there are some good raw ideas in here, perhaps. I have 8-9 episodes if I can bear to post them all! It's a bit much.

I am in the larger town of Jimma, I think the euphoria of returning to the dirt roads of Ethiopia wore off a bit. It was probably all the dust. Feeling a bit drained, but still happy to be back in Ethiopia, I reflect a bit on coffee travel. I have always had a problematic relationship with using coffee travel to sell coffee, to create marketing material. But in the end I feel coffee can be a pretty straightforward product, and that's not bad at all. I was going to skip including this one honestly, but decided to keep it in the end.

In Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee, Ethiopians spend hours roasting and brewing coffee in their living rooms. But, have you ever heard of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony? If not, you are not alone. Get ready, dear listeners, because James is going to take you, Scott, and Jools out of your regular coffee routine to see how coffee can be drunk quite differently. First, we travel to Italy as James roasts coffee beans with his family's long-time friend and family helper, a lovely Ethiopian woman named Elisa. Then, Jools and Scott get treated to a coffee trader at the Ethiopian Embassy with the ambassador and Jame's friend Ethiopian coffee exporter Michael Haile. And, we also hear from an Ethiopian expat, Mekdes, who grew up with the ceremony at home and still practices it herself. Get ready, because your morning coffee might just get a little more savory! —Join our Patreon to support the show! https://bit.ly/3vrispx Enjoy the legendary experience of a Moccamaster Coffee Brewers: https://bit.ly/3ANRBqQRepair your Moccamaster in the UK with Bella Barista: http://bit.ly/3UFHCfSBecome your own barista with Rocket Espresso: https://bit.ly/3RiBXehWant to learn more about our wonderful guests?

On this week's Colorado Edition, we learn about a new mobile outreach unit to connect veterans experiencing homelessness with resources. As bear encounters get more common, we hear how one community is looking to reduce bear-human interactions. We get a breakdown of how the student loan forgiveness plan will affect Coloradans. Finally, we learn about Ethiopian coffee ceremonies happening in Aurora.Featured SegmentsThis week, the Veterans Community Project of Longmont launched a brand new mobile outreach unit. The van will connect veterans experiencing homelessness in rural parts of northern Colorado with resources like transportation and temporary housing. KUNC's Beau Beaker spoke to the project's executive director, Jennifer Seybold, about the mobile unit and efforts to aid unhoused veterans in our region. Around here, it's not unusual for a bear to wander into a neighborhood, especially as we head into fall. That can be dangerous – for the residents and bears. The Mountain West News Bureau's Will Walkey reports on a community looking to reduce these encounters. Last week President Joe Biden announced a sweeping student loan forgiveness plan that would erase up to $20,000 of debt for many borrowers. To learn more about how this debt forgiveness plan will impact Coloradans, we spoke with Jason Gonzales from Chalkbeat Colorado. He reports on higher education and has been covering the student debt crisis. The Colorado Dream podcast from KUNC shares the stories of Coloradans who are overcoming obstacles to create a better life for themselves and their families in an effort to achieve the American Dream. Hosted by Stephanie Daniel, the latest season, called “Newcomers Welcome”, explores the Black immigrant experience in Colorado as told through the eyes of one African immigrant and Aurora, as the city - and its residents - strive to become an inclusive home for all.In this bonus episode, Stephanie profiles an Ethiopian immigrant who loves to share a piece of her culture with others.CreditsColorado Edition is hosted by Yoselin Meza Miranda and produced by the KUNC newsroom, led by news director Sean Corcoran.

Aurora is home to immigrants and refugees from around the world. To help them succeed, the city created an ambitious integration plan that focuses heavily on supporting foreign-born entrepreneurs. And for good reason; immigrants and refugees have higher rates of starting new businesses than American-born residents. Throughout the city there are immigrant-owned businesses like food markets, restaurants, beauty salons and transportation companies. “Aurora, it's welcoming and if you are comfortable, you achieve,” said Ayelech G-Michael. “First impression, you see somebody who look like you, you would be comfortable. I think that's why Aurora (has) a lot of entrepreneur(s).”G-Michael is one of these entrepreneurs. She came to the U.S. to go to college in 1995 and then moved to Aurora five years later. She has owned a liquor store and a home health agency. Now, she works as an interpreter for medical and law offices, schools and the community. She interprets two Ethiopian languages: Amharic and Tigrinya. She also performs Ethiopian coffee ceremonies at events around Aurora, including the city's annual Global Fest.“That's how I start serving the coffee,” she said. “To show my culture to other very diverse Aurora.”Credits and linksTo see photos of the tea ceremony and Ayelech G-Michael, as well as other extras from the series, go to the Colorado Dream website.The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome is a production from KUNC.

Ethiopia is widely recognised as the birthplace of coffee and have some of the most elegant and nuanced coffees in the world. In this episode Tyson catches up with Jason, one of the founders of Market Lane, to learn about the significance that coffee plays in Ethiopia's history and culture, how we source coffee there, and more about his recent travels to this very special origin.To find out more about our wholesale coffee partnerships, please visit us here.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Almost all the coffee grown worldwide today can be traced back to the coffee trees of ancient Abyssinia. The high altitudes, perfect climate conditions, centuries-old farming techniques and the many thousands of local varietals create complex and unique tasting coffees rarely seen outside Ethiopia.In this episode, Brendan, Aaron and Chris explore the social and economic importance of coffee in Ethiopia, and what is it that makes Ethiopian Coffee just so good?Also discussed: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and if Aaron could write a book, what would it be about?

Perhaps this should have been our first episode as this week we go back to the beginning to ask the question, "Where is coffee from?"Today, more than 2 billion cups of coffee are consumed daily.  Coffee is grown worldwide along the coffee bean belt between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, in countries including Brazil, Kenya, Colombia, Vietnam, Indonesia, East Timor, India and Mexico.So, where did it come from? Brendan, Aaron and Chris give you the answer on this week's episode of the Filament Coffee Podcast.

In this episode we discuss coffee consumption and the culture around it. From the Five Waves of Coffee to production, and to the changes in café culture. And finally, how coffee marketing is ridiculously effective (on some of us).While we don't always refer to literature within the podcast, a lot of our conversations feed from research conducted within the fields of consumer culture/consumption studies; as well as sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines. Plus, we don't manage to cover everything we'd have liked to cover. For those interested in further reading or research on the topics we discuss, we would like to provide a (non-exhaustive) list of literature for further reading.Enjoy!Anuja and AlevCoffee Cultures: Historical Perspectives:Kjeldgaard, D., & Ostberg, J.

The auction, which took place on June 25, also broke the record for total auction sales, raising US$1,248,690 across 28 lots. The previous record, US$830,245, was achieved during a 2011 El Salvador auction of 42 lots. The top-scoring coffee, a naturally processed coffee variety released by the Jimma Research Center in 1978, was grown by Niguse Gemeda Mude from Hayisa in Sidama. It achieved the highest price ever recorded for Ethiopian coffee, US$185.10 per pound or US$407 per kilo. While these prices appear to validate the investments and associated risks of quality, the ongoing climate crisis and global pandemic are a dual-threat to Ethiopia's coffee production. For example, Central and South American farmers are experiencing disruption directly to this year's harvest, particularly due to COVID-19 restrictions on the movement of skilled farm labor, but the Ethiopian harvest typically peaks in November-December. The Ethiopian Coffee & Tea Authority reports that COVID-19 is currently disrupting farmers' ability to apply inputs like fertilizers to their farms, the impact of which will probably be felt in future production across both quantity and quality. Meanwhile in Kenya, The Standard reports that coffee farmers in Kiambu, Githunguru, and Komothai have uprooted their coffee trees in protest of poor earnings. According to those interviewed, the farmers recently received US$0.13 per kilo for coffee that cost US$0.33 per kilo to produce. Citing a lack of support from cooperatives and county officials, the farmers highlighted that where they would have once received support in the form of fertilizers and tools, they now must look for access to loans to improve their farms--but even these, too, are now unavailable. They also pointed to significant delays in payments both to farmers and to mill workers as a source of concern. Those who have uprooted their trees have planted vegetables and avocados instead, while others are simply burning their trees for charcoal or leaving them unattended. A new study published in Global Change Biology suggests that Robusta is far more sensitive to temperature than previously thought. Built on 10 years of yield observations on almost 800 farms across Southeast Asia, the study suggests that the optimal temperature for Robusta is 20.5C, considerably lower than previously suggested optimal temperatures. The current estimates, which indicate a higher temperature tolerance, are based on historical botanical explorations in Central Africa. Worryingly, the study also reported that for every one-degree increase over this optimal temperature, yields decrease by 14 percent. One of the study's lead authors, Jarrod Kath, says the results call for a reassessment of how we can adapt coffee production to climate change. World Coffee Research has conducted a global consultation, encompassing nearly 140 interviews and 896 survey responses, to direct a five-year strategy for the organization. The summary of the consultation identifies four common global priorities: farmer profitability, origin diversity, quality, and climate adaptation. It also identifies research and development interests of coffee stakeholders by region, which include better access to improved varieties in Latin America, improved pest and disease control in Africa, and Robusta production in Asia. “Climate change is the defining issue of our time,” wrote World Coffee Research CEO Vern Long in a press release announcing the results of the consultation. “Everything agricultural R&D does must be oriented to address it and build resilience and diversity into coffee production systems.” This episode of Recap was made possible with the support of DaVinci.

Follow us at DaVinci Europe, DaVinci North America, or using #WeAreDaVinciGourmet. Organizers of the inaugural Ethiopian Cup of Excellence competition were undeterred by the onset of a global pandemic. In April 2019, Alliance for Coffee Excellence—or ACE—announced that it would run the first-ever Ethiopian Cup of Excellence program in 2020. According to Dr. Adugna Debela, Director General of the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority, the competition was held by sending coffee samples to each member of the jury rather than bringing them to Ethiopia as originally planned. Three coffees, all from the Sidama region, scored more than 90 points in the competition, each receiving the Presidential Award. All of the top 28 coffees will be sold in a record-breaking online auction on June 25. An ongoing story in coffee investments, first noted in December 2019, also came full circle this month: JAB Holdings has announced the planned initial public offering, or IPO, of JDE Peet's on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. A combination of Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Peet's Coffee, JDE Peet's holds a sizable coffee brand portfolio across traditional roast and ground coffees as well as soluble coffee, on-demand systems, and compatible products. The impending JDE Peet's IPO confirms that, despite recent difficulties for China's Luckin Coffee, investors continue to see the potential in coffee companies to deliver profits. In another example, Kopi Kenangan, an Indonesian startup founded in 2017, has just raised US$109 million in Series B funding. As a part of the funding round, Eduardo Saverin—famously known as the co-founder of Facebook—will join Kopi Kenangan's board of directors. The company aims to provide a mid-market coffee option that celebrates Indonesian and South-east Asian flavors. As specialty coffee's popularity continues to surge in local and global markets, it's interesting to note the degree to which larger companies—like JDE Peet's, Luckin Coffee, and Kopi Kenangan—are leveraging it to engage investors. When considered in concert with the uneven distribution of the additional value specialty coffee offers on top of lower-quality products, the market's current belief in the “profitability” of specialty coffee could hamper efforts to redistribute value along the chain more equitably. And finally, as COVID-19 continues to impact coffee producers around the world, reports of government aid and agricultural support continue to make headlines. In Honduras, an unprecedented executive order has declared agroindustry support a national priority. A number of programs, including the “Presidential Coffee Bonus,” “Solidarity Productive Bonus,” and the “Family Agriculture Program” all provide financial support in different ways to small and medium coffee producers. In Uganda, coffee production was labeled “critical” in a presidential directive. With the government's support during their March lockdown, Uganda coffee exports increased by 38%. In return, the Uganda Coffee Development Authority mobilized its members to donate coffee, maize, fuel, medical equipment, and other essentials to communities in need, including frontline workers. This episode of Recap was made possible with the support of DaVinci.
