Episode 50 - How the coffee industry will come out of COVID 19 with Julian Young from Toby's Estate

Episode 50 - How the coffee industry will come out of COVID 19 with Julian Young from Toby's Estate

The story of Toby's Estate began in 1997, when coffee-loving lawyer Toby Smith made a life-changing decision, swapping legal books for coffee cups to follow his passion for his favourite brew. Travelling to some of the most remote corners of the globe, Toby lived amongst the coffee-producing communities, experiencing first-hand the lifelong dedication and hard manual labour that went into growing their exquisite beans.

Fast forward to today and the coffee industry is one of the major suppliers of hospitality venues that would be more scared than most. With cafes, coffee roasters and the coffee loving public nervous about the dramatic changes that have happened so quickly, I was very fortunate to talk with Julian Young who is the Sales Manager for Toby's Estate in SA/WA on where he sees his industry pivoting to to survive.

In this episode we talk about:

-How has the coffee industry changed from a supplier perspective in the last month?

-How has Toby’s Estate pivoted the business since COVID-19?

-Does he think the coffee culture is at risk in Australia with the drop in the supply?

-Does he believe coffee sales will go down worldwide with cafes being shut?
