United States3 years ago - Why didn’t I check out this podcast sooner?
To answer my title, I don’t know. I first heard of Lucia’s work in 2017 from Heleanna in Ethiopia. And it took me 6 years to listen to episode 1 !

Was pumped to listen to this podcast and almost immediately she makes a red headed step child joke. Not sure why you would think this is ok to make fun of people with red hair
Apple Podcasts1TibiredheadUnited States4 years ago - Understanding and Real Passion
Lucia has consistently delivered not just information about the world of coffee processing but she ushers the listener into actually understanding the landscape of this important topic and creates at the kind of feeling all of us in coffee want to create in those we serve - deep appreciation for coffee and thirst to know more.
