Coffee’s Ticking Time Bomb

Sri Lankan coffee has delicious notes of chocolate and caramel. But it’s basically impossible to find, and we’re going to bet you’ve never drank it. But that's really odd, because Sri Lanka has the perfect climate to grow coffee, and was once one of the biggest coffee growing countries in the world. But Sri Lanka was the victim of an ecological ticking time bomb. And this bomb is still ticking, and is going to explode again. In this special episode of Adventures in Coffee, producer James Harper takes co-hosts Scott and Jools on an adventure back in time, across Ethiopia, Yemen, Sri Lanka to trace the origins of this ticking bomb, and what it’s going to take to defuse it. — Subscribe to Adventures in Coffee here: https://link.filterstories.org/300V4jS Sign up for the 2022 Barista League's High Density (free!) conference here: https://link.filterstories.org/3BjAI78 Read Stuart McCook’s excellent book, Coffee Is Not Forever: https://link.filterstories.org/3320rob And follow his Instagram: https://link.filterstories.org/3sJ2OVI Follow Hansa Coffee on Instagram: https://link.filterstories.org/3sOyLfr Listen to James’ stories about El Salvador here: https://spoti.fi/3Lcnuhg Help other people find the show by leaving a rating on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3JYduHY Help others find the show by creating a screengrab of this episode on your podcast player and sharing it on your Instagram stories.
