CLR-E21: Quest Coffee - From Farm to Cup By The Same Hands

This week we sat down with Val and Matt Quest, of Quest Coffee. This couple is on a mission to help the underrepresented small coffee farmers around the world. They start with one farmer, on one farm in Brazil - import the coffee themselves, sort it by their own hands, roast it through Conduit Coffee, and then sell it themselves. This is probably the purest form of direct trade you can find, and demonstrates the rapidly evolving coffee industry where anyone can step up and play a major role in the entire chain. On the day of the show, we cupped three roast versions of the single origin Mundanova that Quest Coffee is importing from this farm - we hear about their story, the story of the farmer, and talk a bit about the coffee itself.
