Description
I talk to Vava Angwenyi, a multitalent within the coffee industry. She is the founder of Vava coffee, Gente del Futuro (co-founder) and the author of COFFEE MILK BLOOD, a book she created to challenge the colonial narrative in coffee production. In this episode, we try to provide the listener with a surface level understanding of the coffee trading in Kenya and discuss topics like "the typical Kenyan coffee" and it's limiting implications but also the variety of coffee grown in the country and it's potential if we could re-envision what a coffee from Kenya can be.
If you like this episode, be sure to listen to the Guest Episode with Vava & Jake Green where they talk more about Gente del Futuro and COFFEE MILK BLOOD.
