My guest for Episode Nineteen of the Fermenting Place [podcast] is Herbert Peñaloza. Herbert is a coffee farmer, grower and producer from Tolima, Colombia. Here he helps to farm, process, and market single origin coffee beans on the family farm; 575 Café.  Herbert is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to coffee and holds great insight into its often overlooked and undervalued place in our world. With such frequency and ubiquity in our daily lives, it's easy to understate and take for granted the nuance of provenance and place that coffee comes from. Every day, Herbert seeks to compress the distance between the grower and the customer, to help connect people connect to the coffee he grows back to its unique coordinates here on Earth. - - In Episode Nineteen of the Fermenting Place [podcast], Herbert and I discuss...
