Still can’t confirm if the tariffs on coffee are eliminated or reduced, nor if I can ship now as a Canadian roaster! Help ‼️ 😮‍💨😅

This also explains why so many coffee pros are Z1øs or collaborators: the genøc1de in Palęst1ne is enacted by white people and the ones who suffer are brown.

We have to switch our extractive mindset that aims to enrich the colonial core and find ways to benefit what is labeled as the periphery. 3/4

We accept their poor material condition as a necessary part of keeping our specialty, global North businesses thriving. 2/4

I often talk about women and children being bombed to bits, and as a father and husband, I’ve shed many tears for them.

I wish specialty coffee people would use their voices, and engage their platforms and businesses for more than gear and gesha.

"Imagine putting fair trade, organic certification and other stickers on bags to show the good you are doing without explaining it’s all marketing and cover the farmers costs".

"It takes tens of thousands of US dollars for an individual to prepare for and possibly win USBC and especially for WBC 😇"

"That’d be really funny if several successful, third-wave-specialty-sustainable-transparent-producer-focused coffee roasteries created products containing cheap, big-lot coffees that make majority of their sales!"

"Imagine and industry where gear reviewers would earn more every month than a producing family earn every year, that would be crazy right?"🫠

"How about when the industry declares a price crisis every 10 years but changes nothing about the pricing or market dynamics".

One of the biggest shortcoming of specialty coffee people in the Global North is that they rarely go beyond the learning stage, forever repeating errors of the past to maintain a status quo they benefit from.
