DANIEL SEYOUM! - The Untold Story of Ethiopian Coffee

Hello lovely people. Today we are joined by the coffee powerhouse, Daniel Seyoum. Daniel’s family have been growing coffee in Ethiopia for over 45 years, with Daniel himself running farms using traditional agricultural practices. He now heads two successful cafes in Melbourne. Both Ageyo and Little Ezida have grown wildly successful, with a focus on ethical and direct trade.  In this conversation, Daniel provides a unique and valued perspective on coffee farming and its history; on everything from goats discovering caffeine to the health risks associated with farming malpractice.  We are so grateful to Daniel for sharing his story regarding the internal conflict in Ethiopia and its impact on not only the coffee industry but his family and the wider community.  Plus, Kirk and Rohan are back with some coffee news (good news for coffee addicts), and Rohan has a bone to pick about the ever growing variations of milk.  If you're new here (what’s up!), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day, that It's Just Coffee! We were so lucky to have Daniel on the show this week. If you love this chat, make sure to follow us @itsjustcoffee, and check out Daniel at @ageyocoffee and @little_ezida. Thank-you for joining us for ep 6! Hope you have a delicious week of coffee! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
