  • Exceptional conversations

    I found Lee‘s podcast only this week and found myself listening to one and another one and another episode. Especially Ana from Colombia touched my coffee soul very deep and awoke my wish to build a sustainable business that supports coffee farmers again.

1548 | Part 3 of 5 | The Challenges of Australian Coffee Farming (Rebecca Zentveld)
Q: So Bec, what are they?

1546 | Part 1 of 5 | The History of Australian Coffee Farming (Rebecca Zentveld)
Q: Yeah. So how long has coffee been grown in Australia then?
Coffee has been grown in Australia for about 40 years, with early activity in New South Wales and far north Queensland beginning in the 1980s, a revival in the 1990s, and a growing number of small, family-owned farms that are increasingly roasting and selling locally.
1549 | Part 4 of 5 | Biological Coffee Farming in Australia (Rebecca Zentveld)
Q: What is the core idea behind your biological farming approach and how does it affect coffee quality?
Beck explains that soil biology, diverse cover crops, composting, and worm-based inputs foster microbial life that unlocks nutrients and enhances flavor, while reducing reliance on synthetic sprays.
