IT’S JUST COFFEE!

The Southeast Asia Coffee Revolution - Old Quarter Coffee | AMELIA HICKS & YOSIR Le CERF!


Listen Later

Southeast Asia has long been overlooked in the specialty coffee world — but that’s changing fast. In this episode, we sit down with Amelia Hicks and Yosir Le Cerf, co-founders of Old Quarter Coffee, to unpack how a trip to Hanoi led to a radically transparent, values-first approach to sourcing coffee directly from Southeast Asia.

From challenging stereotypes about Vietnamese robusta to building an in-house importing, roasting, and café model — this conversation dives deep into what it takes to create long-term ethical partnerships, redefine origin reputations, and inspire a more inclusive future for specialty coffee.

Whether you’re a barista, a café owner, or just a curious coffee lover, this one will reframe how you think about where your coffee comes from — and why it matters.

If you’re new here (welcome), 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 – It’s Just Coffee!
