Mexican Coffee ☕️
Coffee is the most popular beverage in the world, after water… and it can feel almost as necessary. And yet, most of us don’t know much about what goes into making our morning ritual happen.
Enter me, your nerdy drink-loving friend!
I talked to three coffee expert friends here in Mexico to understand:
- What people mean when they say “specialty coffee”
- The interesting history that brought coffee to Mexico—and the revolution that put coffee growing in the hands of indigenous peoples
- Why Mexican coffee doesn’t always get its due internationally
- How to support producers (and ethical brands) by asking the right questions before you buy your next coffee
There’s so much to cover here that this episode is longer than normal. Those of you who see it through to the end will get a sneak peek at the next season. 👀 🇯🇵
