Decolonize your coffee; Decolonize your mind.
Talking about specialty coffee, differently.
Not here to be liked or make you feel good.
⚖️ Truth > Comfort
🔻
The ability to work at or go to a cafe freely is apparently not granted to Pālestin1ans.
Where is the outrage from the specialty coffee industry?
And where is the coffee media at??

Specialty coffee has been built on colonial systems of exploitation. No wonder so many coffee people are rāc1sts or apologists: black and brown farmers, just like the coffee we need, have been commodified, and their struggles have been normalized. 1/4

Pālēst1nian journalist Bayan Abusultan survived an Israhelli airstrike while working in a cafe in Gāzā today.
Think about that the next time you work from a coffee shop.
The fact that some specialty coffee people still defend and collab with Z1øs is wild.

PSA to all the carbon neutral coffee companies:

Carbon neutrality is a scam invented by and for global North businesses so they can have a clean conscience, a marketing scheme to sell more [coffee].

Here’s a great read:

"Carbon Neutral" Coffee: Climate Accountability or Marketing Spin?
The coffee industry creates emissions and carbon offsets won't save us.

So much mischief,
but I’ll be brief:
I dream of the day,
not so far away,
When Palestine will be free.

And I’ll go, just to drink a coffee.
Under the shade of an olive tree.

How about specialty coffee people start focusing more on wealth redistribution rather than on particule size distribution?

I want to use this opportunity to praise Palestinian men.
They are kind courageous, dedicated, resilient, smart, funny, beautiful. And they’ve showed me how to be fiercely loving.

On April 1st, I did an Instagram post where I asked people:
Tell me a coffee fact that feels like a joke, but isn’t.
Here are the best ones: a thread 🧵

I’m drinking a sweet coffee and thinking about how I can’t wait for the fall of Israhell.
What about ya’ll?

What’s the point in learning about coffee’s history and oppressive systems if we don’t use what we learn to better the industry?

Specialty coffee people will just ignore this image like it’s nothing and go watch the latest Water For Coffee Video by one of the coffee bros.

Who cares about the birthplace of coffee culture being bombed for trying to stop a genøcǐd€… #specialtycoffee #yemen

I just saw children and women being catapulted 100M in the air after a bomb hit them, all while we debate when coffee will be cheaper, if it should be cheaper or if tariffs will make our profits less big.
Ok.

All the coffee people who made Parody of coffee trends on April Fools are the ones who started these trends in the first place. #coffeesky #specialtycoffee

Remember when all #specialtycoffee people came together to help Ukraine? Where are all these people now?
*No babies were beheaded*

Israel: Hamas has beheaded babies [no proof]

Western media: *media frenzy for months*

*Babies are beheaded* [plural]

Palestinians: Here’s a video of Israel beheading our babies

Western media: *silence*

This is mainstream-media backed genocide
