EPISODE 038: After hearing the news that the best of Panama auction broke yet another record. It got us thinking: Who really benefits from these competitions? Or is it just a giant dick swinging contest? At the most recent auction the top prize went to Wilford Lamastus of Elida Estate where he received $800USD per lb for his 100lb lot. In this episode we discuss why this is good and also mostly bad. We also share an idea that WE think is much better and supports the the growth of smaller specialty coffee producers. We'd really love some feedback on this idea so get in contact if you'd like to contribute in any way [email protected] Thanks so much for tuning in.
