christopher feran writes very knowledgeably about the micro-stuff (and has an optimism that i don’t really share), but the dynamics here discussed here in kenya are playing out at a large scale everywhere, and there’s no stopping them christopherferan.com/2021/12…

California law requires this posting to include a pay range.
Also, Sprudge should require pay as part of their job listings by default. They are a figurehead in coffee media and have the ability to make some positive change happen.

one time in college we were all talking about what time period we would go back to live in if we could and this one girl was like “this is the only time period with The National” and i’ll be real she made some points.

It's not just you: nobody can find that blueberry-tasting single-origin Yirgacheffe you had in 2008 anymore. This captivating article—book, practically—about Ethiopia and its #coffee by @feranch explains why.
This is the best overview of the business of Ethiopian coffee that I’ve ever read.
Covers history, society, quality, & economics all in specific detail. Written by a buyer of green coffee who has traveled here constantly since 2014
Worth the long read:

Coffee production under the shade of mixed hardwoods.
Hardwoods will be harvested after ~ 20 years, bringing in more revenue than the previous 20 years combined of specialty coffee sales.
This type of system will be a central pillar of the future of coffee production.

In the spirit of #KojiBuildsCommunity, the process he helped develop, specifically to match the climate and conditions coffee producers exist within, is fully open-source and available on @feranch's blog.

I'm editing my story about coffee shops we lost during the pandemic--what are your favorite shops that never reopened or never recovered from COVID?

The typical coffee farm applies ~ 200 kg/ha of synthetic nitrogen each year, an excessive amount
I worked with this farm to phase out synthetic N and cut a total of 195,000 kgs of annual applications
The trees are healthier, higher yielding, and the coffee tastes better...

A polyculture of wheat grown with walnut trees produces ~ 40% higher yields.
1 hectare of wheat/walnut mix yields the same as 1.4 hectares of each crop grown separately.
This is an example of overyielding.

With the news of @cometeer laying off employees right before Christmas, and dropping contracts with roasters, I’d like to reiterate this thread. They aren’t a revolutionary brand, they’re a cold k cup company. @feranch

Democracy in Ohio is in trouble:
Democratic-affiliated candidates won control over the State Board of Education in Ohio, and one week later, the Republican lawmakers moved a bill forward to strip their powers.

Column: Coffee Has a Nitrogen Fertilizer Dilemma dailycoffeenews.com/2022/06/… @samdknowlton

A typical coffee farm uses ~ 200 kg/ha of synthetic nitrogen per year, more than high-yielding corn
This farm stopped the use of synthetic N — a total of 195,000 kgs per year
As a result, trees are now disease free, higher yielding, and produce the highest quality coffee

Anybody gonna do an investigative piece on why @SpecialtyCoffee failed to uphold their covid safety policies for Expo and how coffee people are now helping to spread the wave back to their respective states and countries?
