Micro Coffee Festival: Brazil 2017

The Perfect Daily Grind Micro Coffee Festival returned this year in Brazil, world’s largest producer of coffee. Why Brazil? Not only does this country have a huge impact on the global coffee industry, but it’s creating innovative answers to issues around traceability, sustainability, and more. Many of these get overlooked because it’s Brazil – but Perfect Daily Grind believes it’s time to change that dialogue.

Perfect Daily Grind is set out to provide an inclusive platform for discussion, and so our speakers include coffee farmers as well as buyers, and are nearly 50% female. Moreover, they are also providing perspectives from other specialty industries, with Dr. Carla Martin, Founder and Executive Director of the Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute, teaming up with Anthony Rue of Volta Coffee, Tea, & Chocolate to discuss specialty cacao.

Invited Speakers: Anthony Rue (Volta Coffee), Carla Martin (Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute), Silvia Constantin (SCA Romania Chapter & Barista School), Benjamin Evar (La Cabra Coffee Roasters), Noon NutRada K. (Bluekoff), Maria Esther Lopez (Cafe Registrado), Ricardo Pereira (Ally Coffee), Ricardo Tavares (Monte Santo Tavares), Bruno Ribeiro (Origina Café), José Felipe Carneiro (Wals Cerveja) & Tsuyoshi Murakami
