EP.12: It’s in the Blood - A Conversation with Lisette Gaviña

On this week’s episode, we’re talking all things COFFEE. Joining the conversation is the head of a major coffee empire, Lisette Gavina. She is the Executive Marketing Director of F. Gaviña & Sons, the nation’s largest minority owned family coffee roaster and a leading producer of quality coffee! You might recognize their brands such as Don Francisco’s Coffee, Café La Llave Espresso, Gaviña Gourmet Coffee and Jose’s Gourmet Coffee. We get into the DNA of Success, our theme for this episode, and what it means to be born into not just a family business, but a family passion. Lisette has the inside knowledge on all uses for coffee (internal and external) and breaks down the process from cherry seed (yep!) to the glorious coffee in your cup every morning. Coffee is more than a career for Lisette and her family, it’s in their Cuban blood. Tune in for great ideas on how to experience your coffee, and ways in which you can contribute to the recycling movement through her company’s partnership with Terracycle. As always, we have a guest-inspired cocktail of the week! This week enjoy a collaboration with Don Francisco’s Coffee, THE MALECON.
