How can we expect shifting temperatures and weather patterns to impact the coffee farmers, the land they work, and the coffee we consume?
Much of the coffee we enjoy in the US is Cafe Arabica, a species grown at higher elevation and prized for its complex flavors.
Join Amber Kersting and Andrew Gaertner of non-profit coffee importer Farmer to Farmer, along with Whole Earth coffee roaster Timothy Sienko for a discussion exploring how small coffee farms in Honduras and Guatemala are challenged by climate changes, with a focus on regenerative agriculture, and the relationship between coffee and direct trade models.
Coffee will be provided and you will take home a 10-ounce bag of whole bean coffee at the end of class.
