Today were sitting down with the CEO and Co-founder of Wize Monkey, Max Rivest, who talks to us about their company that produces coffee leaf tea. The road to success wasn’t always easy, but Max’s tireless passion and persistence have resulted in a successful business that not only crafts an entirely unique product, but one that also contributes to the sustainability of the coffee industry. Max shares about his educational background, how his mother’s wisdom has been a guiding light along his path of important decision-making and about the job that gave way to a quarter-life crisis. We get into more detail about the time he spent in France, the valuable lessons he learned there and how a project in his MBA studies started him off on the exploration into coffee leaf tea. Having a marketing and branding background, we discuss the various approaches Max has taken in selling their product, including the realization that they needed a stronger emphasis on the quality and taste of their tea rather than focusing predominantly on the social impact. There is so much to be inspired by, not to mention Max’s totally relatable experiences. So be sure to join us today for another awesome episode of the Grow Ensemble Podcast!

On this episode of the Food Heroes Podcast, we learn how an On this episode of the Food Heroes Podcast, we learn how an innovative Tea startup is thinking outside the bean. Coffee is the third most consumed beverage in the world, yet the coffee bean’s harvest season is only three months long. “During the off-season, almost 80% of the industry is out of work,” says Max Rivest of Wize Monkey, an ethically sourced coffee leaf beverage company that employs farm workers all-year round. Max believed that the discarded coffee leaves could be used for more than just mulch, in a way that would provide greater stability for the farmers and migrant workers. After a couple years of trial and error, Max and his partners figured out a way to craft exceptional tea flavors from the discarded biomass. But that trial and error period didn’t come without its obstacles.
