    Ep. 38 - Jaseem Abbas, Home Brewer who won the National Barista Championship - India 2023

    This episode of #CoffeeProtocolPodcast we talk about Jaseem and his journey towards winning the Title of “Indian Barista Champion -2023", but also about struggles, anxiety, pressure and stress during the coffee championship. We talk about coffee culture and the start of Jaseem's dream to win the title. We also talk about Blue Tokai Coffee, Santosh from Thirdwave, Mithilesh the preceding Champion, Suhas, Sandra, Hrishikesh, Bhavnish of Coffee Genetics, James Hoffman, Lance Handricks and of course National Barista championship, and WBC. Ninedotcoffee- A name you would have heard or come across if you follow Indian coffee championships and competitions. If not let me introduce you to this jack ass of an amazing person. Jaseem Abbas, a curious mallu who resides in Bengaluru. As the stereotypes go he does work in “tech stuff”, he owns and runs a company that makes money for him, so he can spend a large portion of it on coffee machines. Yes, he is a home brewer, who got so into coffee, that he started making machines that could be fit into his home machine. (Did I mention he is a geek), his love for coffee and brewing got him into the world of coffee competition. Started with AeroPress competition and then attempting his hand in National Barista Championship in 2021. In his first year of trial, he didn’t even qualify through his first round, because of technical reasons (he didn’t make 3 sets of drinks in 15 mins) but did an amazing job of how much ever he did. Then he came back the next year and ended up Winning the championship. A home brewer winning a Barista Championship was unheard of, but he did it, and did it how.

The farm has mostly (if not only) tribal workers helping at the farm. Some of the stories they shared was shocking, beautiful and some hilariously crazy.  Nirmala ji and Rajshree both talk about their incredible journey towards doing what they are doing, its nothing but inspirational. Nirmala ji doesn’t act her age at all, its Scaringly Awesome! Rajshree who has worked in so many different places and different industries to come and join the farm was nothing but daring move.  Together they are amazing duo who are beyond crazy “kind”, dedicated, hands on and just pure awesome people. I was glad I could experience a bit of working with them and knowing them. I wish the best to them always.  Also If you are in coffee (and even if you are not, just listen to this pure bliss-full episode) Their link to Instagram handle : https://www.instagram.com/madhu_agro_plantations/

    Ep. 36 What will be the biggest change in Coffee industry in the coming year ......?

    Hello everyone, and welcome back, to Season 4 of our Coffee Protocol Podcast. First of all, lots of love to everyone that we are here. Its been a bumpy ride, (but so are all the adventurous rides ). A lil while ago I had gone to attend this Food & Beverage Expo called as "Ahaar" in Delhi, at Pragati Maidan, apparently the biggest of such sort that happens in India. Coffee is a big deal here, as lot of coffee and roasting machine and coffee equipment suppliers, roasters, consultants and syrup and packaging companies and lot many (associated to running a cafe) come to this Expo. I thought it would be nice to go meet some of the coffee folks and ask them a very genuine and "super non-original" but important question of what they would think is the biggest change that will take place in the coffee industry. I got some really interesting answers ( not questionable "interesting" that we use to describe a weird cup of coffee, after the owner asks how the coffee was) but genuinely interesting as these were some opinions that came from the people from the coffee industry. Please do give your feedback on this... and yes do share your thoughts on what other stories would you be interested in the coming episodes ( while I plan some crazy ones too ) lots of love -Baristaonbike #coffee #coffeepodcast #indiancoffeescene #specialtycoffeepodcast #coffeeprotocolpodcast

    Tasing can be as simple or as complicated as you can make it ! Yes it isn't difficult to start with, but yes some practice will make you get into the groove and make it interesting for yourself. Coffee Cupping is getting quite famous and also trendy, but then the roots of the same is based on something we basically don't mention in current days (or seldom do). Also even you are not a certified taster (or professional) you can still taste coffees and be pretty good at it. The key is very simple/basic. Listen to the episode to know more. Keeping in the vibe of this espresso edition, it's a very small episode but packed with a lot of information. Do check it out, and while in the podcast list, check the others out too.  Espresso Shot Edition - is a collection a few tiny (micro /nano / pico ) podcast with lot of information, and doesn't need a lot of time to listen to.  Coffee Protocol Podcast - #podcast #coffee #Information #education #tastingcoffee #coffeecupping

  7. Ep. 32 Unakki Coffee Collective - Exciting conversation about, the real challenges, issues and most importantly doing business in Coffee by 2 young ladies

    Ep. 32 Unakki Coffee Collective - Exciting conversation about, the real challenges, issues and most importantly doing business in Coffee by 2 young ladies

    Kathyayini Muddaiah & Rakhee Vishwanath, are the two amazing young ladies that power up @unakki_Coffee_Collective. So here is the scene, Kathyayini, Rakhee and I were in the Car, on our way to @bluetokai Koramangla, (with @itsonlycoffeebaby)  this was for the public cupping of the new harvest from producers doing specialty coffee processing for the first time. While we were in the car, we had recorded this episode. So it honestly seems like a really nice, honest conversation between us, in the car. If you plug into your earphones close your eyes, you can technically seat next to me in the passenger seat while we indulge in this really amazing conversation. Coffee, people, age, work, ethics, quality, struggles, fun, opportunities, gender, generations, work, respect, love, marriage, family, support, coffee processing, specialty coffee, Indian Coffee and more coffee was the topic for the conversation.  we did discuss and mention about @kerehaklu @baarbara @asif @bluetokai @jameshoffman @kolliberri @pranathi @aeropress @anaikadu @hippla @nesar @lynn  and more. A lil about Unakki Coffee Collective :  Unakki A Coffee collective community, from Joldal - Palya, Chikmagalur dist. 3700ft - 5000ft Aim - to recognise the hard work that goes in coffee farms & help them get recognition We started exploring the specialty market very recently from 2020. We aspire to start a revolution in specialty coffee from our region. We focus on improving the quality of our sourced coffee by focussing on all the stages post harvest processing. Formed by two women Kathyayini and Rakhee with backgrounds of Architecture and Software, the idea was always to celebrate good coffee. "UNAKKI" is derived from a "den of snakes" which has been in our region for more than 400 years. It is worshiped by villagers as it has withheld all the natural calamities and stayed still.

  8. Ep. 31 Doing Specialty Coffee for the first time! Story of ĀnaiKādu. Risk, Nervousness, Joy & Satisfaction.

    Ep. 31 Doing Specialty Coffee for the first time! Story of ĀnaiKādu. Risk, Nervousness, Joy & Satisfaction.

    A Family residing in the city, move into a Coffee farm and started making some really good coffee. Meet the family behind ĀnaiKādu Nisha , Kurian, Anaika & Bella. How their life came to a crossroad, that led them to the world of coffee, and eventually into #specialtycoffee. New into this side of coffee, processing coffees for the first time, from being not sure enough to being nervous on how the community would react to the coffee, to actually selling all their specialty processed coffee (sooner than they expected). This is an incredible story of how a (relatively small) coffee farm holder churned some good coffee out. Also getting some really commendable #specialtyrobusta, which is what they primarily grow. This podcast is extremely special and unique as it is one episode but there are two parts to the episode, the first half before they got into processing specialty coffee, whereas the other half is post finishing the season and selling all their coffees. I wanted to do an episode like this so that you all (and me) could hear to both parts of the story. We talk about corporate life, farm life, how did they went about starting their journey into specialty Coffee, the capital needed, the challenges involved in doing specialty coffee for the first time, cost incurred, if there is any profit at all in doing coffee or specialty coffee.  We also spoke about, Harshita from EarthSong Cafe, Prasanna (ex - Harley), Pranoy, Blue Tokai, and more.  The artwork from ĀnaiKādu The Ānai Kādu artwork has been turning a lot of heads and rightly so. Everything from the logo to the hand-drawn detailed images accompanying the postcards for each of the processes were done by Kurian and Nisha’s good friend and artist and textile designer, Meera Naidu
