@nickr9784 We try to purchase as much as we can directly from the producers. It's not always easy, as there are hundreds of thousands of farms of all sizes in the world, so our competition and rare selections are the main ones we're purchasing via direct trade. They will also sell smaller quantities, which is good for micro roasters like yourself. The best way to get started is by social media, email and expos. A good portion of the famous, competition farms, have a social media presence (Instagram) and/or an email that you can use to contact them. The SCA Expo is another good avenue for connecting.
awesome, i love how you explain everything from meeting the owner of the farm to roasting methods. Makes everything very interesting.
Bop Gesha ???😮 when does it gonna be ready??
I'm working on getting some of the washed geisha lot that won BOP. Crossing my fingers 🤞
Are you buying direct? What’s the best way for individual micro roasters to get started with direct?
