About this listen
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Taya Brown to unpack the hidden world behind one of the most familiar drinks on the planet - coffee. While Taya isn’t a coffee farmer herself, she has spent years working closely with smallholder coffee farmers in Central America, listening to their experiences and studying how global systems shape their livelihoods.
We talk about coffee as a plant, an agricultural product, and a complex global system — from seasonality and growing practices to pricing, certification, and distribution. Along the way, we explore why coffee costs what it does, how it moves from farm to cup, and what it really means to be a conscientious coffee drinker. This conversation makes it clear that the cup of coffee you’re holding is just the tip of the iceberg.
