Before You Brew

Nelson Raul Amador was born into the world of coffee. He's a fifth generation coffee farmer from Honduras and founder of De La Finca Coffee - a direct trade green coffee importer bringing the best of Honduran coffees to roasters in the US.

Join blog contributor Alejandra Bedoya and Loom Coffee Co. founder Christopher Pierce as we hear Nelson's story in his own words.

Coffee writer Dani Straughan and Loom Coffee's co-founder Christopher Pierce explore the challenges of a global coffee industry grappling with climate change:

..While it is important to consider what can be done from an agricultural perspective, it is also important to look at things from an overall perspective - what changes can the coffee industry make as a whole to help farmers with the negative impacts of climate change?"

We're excited to share the latest chapter in our coffee journey with you. Loom Coffee's co-founder, Christopher Pierce has just returned from a visit to Costa Rica, where he had the chance to visit the coffee-producing community of Aquiares in Turrialba.

We invite you to share in the experience and be a part of this origin trip through this immersive travelogue, where Christopher details the road that led him to Aquiares, a swim underneath a 132-foot waterfall, and cupping coffees with one of the most innovative coffee producers around, Diego Robelo.
