Vava Angwenyi - coffee exporter & author

<p>I talk to Vava Angwenyi, a multitalent within the coffee industry. She is the founder of Vava coffee, Gente del Futuro (co-founder) and the author of COFFEE MILK BLOOD, a book she created to challenge the colonial narrative in coffee production. In this episode, we try to provide the listener with a surface level understanding of the coffee trading in Kenya and discuss topics like &quot;the typical Kenyan coffee&quot; and it&#39;s limiting implications but also the variety of coffee grown in the country and it&#39;s potential if we could re-envision what a coffee from Kenya can be.</p> <p>If you like this episode, be sure to listen to the Guest Episode with Vava &amp; Jake Green where they talk more about Gente del Futuro and COFFEE MILK BLOOD. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Big thank you to: </p> <p>Vava Angwenyi - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vavacoffeekenya/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@vavacoffeekenya </a></p> <p>Gente del Futuro - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gentefuturo/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@gentefuturo</a></p> <p>La Dulce Toro Cafe - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ladulcetorolamu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@ladulcetorolamu</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.vavacoffeeinc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.vavacoffeeinc.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.gente-delfuturo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.gente-delfuturo.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.coffeemilkblood.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.coffeemilkblood.com/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Jesse Raub - for creating the music accompanying this episode.</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bossbaristapodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ashley Rodriguez</a> - for everything</p>
