This is not a coffee podcast, at least not in the traditional sense, but in this show, we explore the lives and passions of people from all walks of life around the world who have nailed their niche, and how they integrate the love of coffee into their lifestyle. The Nomad Barista started as a project to uncover the stories, inspirations, and challenges of passionate coffee professionals all over the globe, and I'm now expanding from the blog and Youtube channel to share conversations through long-form podcast content!

003 Cole Torode – Specialty Coffee Importer: Moving Beyond "Experimental" Fermentations, Naming Coffee Processes, and Evolution of Barista Competitions

Cole Torode is the co-owner of Rosso Coffee Roasters in Calgary, Alberta, Founder and Head of Coffee and Operations at Forward Specialty Green Coffee Importers. He is also a seasoned coffee competitor as the 2018/2019 Canadian National Barista Champion, which brought him to place 5th and 3rd in the World Barista Championships during those consecutive years. This year, 2023, he also placed first in the Canadian Brewers Cup Championship.

In this episode, I share a slightly older conversation with Cole from December 2020. We continue the ongoing conversation about experimental fermentations in coffee processing, how we can talk about them, and discuss good examples from a mutual coffee producing colleague, Samuel Ronzon, and what he's doing on his farm in Veracruz, Mexico. For my conversation with Sammy in Spanish (with subtitles), check out our video chat on YouTube.
