EP 589 George Howell - Coffee Varietals and The Coffee Crisis - The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward

This is the 3rd episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.

Our Guest on the podcast this week is George Howell founder of George Howell Coffee, Coffee Connection and co-founder of Cup of Excellence.

In this series, given George is a founder of the specialty coffee industry, we're exploring "The Coffee Industry According To George Howell" for a second year in a row. We traverse many different aspects of the industry in this series and try to explore how we got here, where we're at, and where we think it's going.

In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee and George discuss the critical role coffee varieties play in the current coffee industry crisis.

They dive into challenges like disease resistance, maintaining flavor profiles, and economic pressures faced by coffee farmers.

The episode highlights notable varieties such as SL 28, Pink Bourbon, and the H1 hybrid, and explores innovative solutions, including regenerative agriculture.

Additionally, the conversation touches on the impact of climate change and market dynamics on coffee production.
