The first Credit for this episode goes to the Naga entrepreneur Mr. Lichan Humtsoe of Été Coffee, we spoke over the phone and he did mention that he would love to have certain content in the podcast related to the horticulture side of Coffee Plantation and things on those end.

So there's a lot we don't think about when we think of coffee farming. Here on the next few episodes will be exactly and that. Breaking a few myths, diving into few farm related stuff. And also getting some amazing people on the podcast. This is an intro to this new episode season.

There are times when you require your space, there are time when you require support, you laugh, you cry, you support and your rejoice. How important it is to communicate and scar are the ground rules one can try and inculcate in their relationships especially if you are working professionally with your better half.

Here's this amazing couple who run a coffee shop , Bean Theory in Thane, Maharashtra. How do they manage the business, the relationship while sustaining and balancing all together.

Now that she's got the place, the journey of converting the space to a cafe begins. The emotional turmoil , the challenges in ground, financial issues etc is faced, she talks about all of that. But also the challenges right after opening, the onset of pandemic and losing hope , selling everything and quitting the cafe scene, and lot more in this episode.

Well lot of prime find it difficult to search things online and figure things out wine opening a cafe, right from the loan up till that time where you think oh shit! It's it that bad ?? Find out about the journey of Khusboo Tawde in this episode (and next) what went through with her and how was her journey.

It's a lil longer episode than what I had assumed initially but totally worth it. We talk about studying coffee professionally, the course at the Coffee Board of India. Getting a Q license and the pros and cons of it and a lot more.

This episode is a part of candid coffee conversations series, where we just talk .. (no script no prepared questions of any sort nothing at all) we casually talk over different things around coffee. I find this to be fun and really interactive. Hope you all like it.

Thank you very much everyone for listening to the first 2 episode, and really grateful to the feedback I've received. This Bonus episode will also give a lil insight into the upcoming series ☺️

So technically this is the base question/reason why I wanted to make the podcast in the first place. There are so many challenges and gaps in our coffee eco system. Difficult to explain all of them, I thought I'll share my story and the issues I came across and feel are important and necessary to be looked at. I'm sure a lot of you will be able to relate with it.

Why baristaonbike? So this episode is start to this podcast that I wanted to make and publish for so long. Finally I thought I should. This episode is is the introductory episode mainly me talking about myself and what do I do and how did I get here and so on.
