Exploring Team Growth and the Journey of Frozen Coffee Cherries

Today's episode features Lucas, a Patron and exporter with Unblended who sold a Kombucha coffee. I invited him and the producers he works with, Felipe and Jose to talk about their experience reverse engineering a $5 castillo. They started with the end goal in mind, the picked the price, the flavor profile they wanted and then created a process to hit their target.

In this episode you'll hear from 3 passionate coffee professionals about:

• What a successful relationship looks like between producers and exporters
• The true cost of experimenting, 80 kilos vs 1 ton
• The price the farmer gets vs the roaster price
• Their exact process: preparing and caring for the kombucha SCOBY
• Their tracking: ph values and number of fermentation hours
