Given across three days, the series of lectures by various speakers will take place at the Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, USA. Each presenter will give a lecture on issues in and surrounding the specialty coffee industry, under different categories including Humanities & Social Sciences, Sustainability, Science & Innovation, Coffee Farming & Processing, Roasting & Retailing and Trading & Commerce.
Sestic’s talk, titled ‘Coffee Processing and the Future of Specialty: How Innovations in Processing Can Change Perceptions of Specialty Coffee‘, will focus on the experiments carried out by Sestic and the Project Origin team with coffee producers around the globe.
“I am really excited to present at SCA and share details of our experiment,” Sestic said. “In particular, I’m excited to share how we turned an 80 point Catimor [varietal] to score 88 points in three years.”
“I am so thankful to the SCA to have this opportunity to speak with industry leaders from around the globe.”
In this lecture, Sestic aims to show that recent innovations and developments in coffee processing and farming will inevitably change our perception of what is both ‘specialty’ and high-quality coffee.
Sestic’s various experiments with producers around the world, as well as on his own farms in Nicaragua and Honduras have explored the opportunity of creating exceptional coffee with low-scoring, ‘common’ and under-valued varietals, typically considered outside the domain of ‘specialty’ coffee.
This lecture will also explore the cost of such findings, revealing the challenges and losses faced in the journey to increasing quality, production and sustainability in a commercial environment.
In this lecture, Saša will also address questions such as:
