In this episode of Over-Extracted we sit down with Pablo Lara, a green coffee trader and recently certified Q-Grader with InterAmerican Coffee.
Based in San Diego, but originally from Ecuador, Pablo has a passion for South and Central American coffee and building relationships with producers and roasters alike.
So of course we cover the current state of the coffee economy regarding the addition of the freshly announced and enacted tariffs on all international commerce, as well as an in-depth, demystifying look at getting the coveted Q-Grader certification.
