#250 - What Makes Great Coffee? ☕️

5 roasts, over 5 regions, and the story of the coffee supply chain from farm to cup. Our task here is to explore and reconsider this question: what makes great coffee?

To do so I've enlisted the help of my many friends at Dean's Beans Organic Coffee. Dean's Beans is a 100% employee-owned, Certified B Corporation based out of Orange, Massachusetts.

The company was founded by Dean Cycon, an environmental and indigenous rights lawyer, back in 1993. Dean set out to prove coffee around the world could be bought, sold, and delivered to our cups without compromising the health and well-being of people and the planet.

Dean offered his answer to the industry and consumers alike, to the question, what makes great coffee?

This episode mixes tasting with the very tactical of how we get from bean (or cherry, rather) to finished brew.

We'll talk organic coffee farming, the role of coffee cooperatives, the significance of fair trade, and also, when you should or shouldn't put cream and sugar in your morning cup.
