Making Coffee with Lucia Solis

#65: To Blend or Not to Blend? Wine Vintages, and Harvest Update.


Listen Later

On today's episode I will be updating you on the coffee we made this harvest season and speaking of the importance of blends.

If you’ve listened to even 1 other episode of this podcast, you’ll know that I'm usually trying to discourage the coffee industry from blindly adopting wine culture. Usually I share my thoughts that adopting a wine model benefits consumers more than producers and further accentuates inequality between the coffee buyers and coffee producers. Usually I believe the wine mode does more harm than good.

But here is a rare occasion where I think coffee could truly benefit from the wine model.

In this episode I talk about:

  • Identity shift from a wine person to a coffee person
  • Why coffee could benefit from adopting the wine vintage model
  • How I approach blending coffee lots in the season
  • Is Coffee Hunter an outdated term?
  • My risky coffee sales strategy
