Great show. I Found this interview (and channel) doing some D.D. On the Korean market. I'm planting out micro lots of some 20K plants of 20+ specialty varieties in Venezuelan cloud Forrest in complex policultured agroforrestry based on ancestral & criolle cacao and rare specialty coffees, under shade of dozens of other fruiting tree species and understory crops. Our "Orgànica Foundation" focuses on sustainable community developement together with cloud Forrest regeneration and self financing watershed+carbon capture initiatives. My latest nursery has Monte Claro, Rume Sudan, Laurina, Wushwush, Javanese longbean, Papayo, yemenese moka, Chiroso, Venezuelan Criolle, pink Bourbon, Sidra, some 50+ year wild self seeded jungle caturras, and a few randome high altitude libericas and even canephoras, like a dark purple leafed heirloom Robusta. I even threw in 500 or so Geisha seeds for good measure. My brother lived for decades and married in Gangueng, S. korea, and told me its a great target market for our future production. Looks like he's spot on, but it's maybe not as developed as he describes it. Funny that this guy likes Indian varieties. One of the few Ive yet to aquire that I haven't is the Jember and S795 lines of genetic cross between Arabica and Liberica. So much more cupping potential there than the Timor type Arabica/Robusta hybrids that currently dominate global production. I have a few Liberica varieties in the nursery, a contact for Eugenoides, and am fishing a lead for stenophylla, but for some reason, seed of the Jembers, S795, and S288 just don't show up for sale anywhere online.
Your videos are professionally edited and graded, and most importantly, informative and interesting! This episode is great, I love the coffee scene in South Korea.
