- 1:20with coffee industry, people in an effort to uplift the
- 1:23community. Nidhi of craft coffee.
- 1:25Basically, we asked people, why do you do this?
- 1:28How did you get here? What inspires and motivates you
- 1:31and what have you learned along the way?
- 1:33Of course, we occasionally go on a few tangents to and for the
- 1:37first 100 or so episodes of this show, we sprinkled in coffee
- 1:41education in the form of our coffee.
- 1:43Smarter segments, those coffee education.

- 2:01follow button and if you're feeling generous, give the
- 2:04podcast to five star rating because have we ever LED you
- 2:08wrong before this show coffee people is still on break between
- 2:12Seasons but we're not just sitting around twiddling our
- 2:14thumbs. Do people still use that
- 2:17expression? Doesn't matter.
- 2:20It isn't what we're doing. We're doing coffee things, like
- 2:23going to Portland, Oregon for the 2023 specialty, coffee
- 2:27Association Expo along with 12,000 other coffee industry
- 2:31professionals and just lovers of good coffee.
- 2:35This was my first Expo and this show sponsor roast our coffee
- 2:38packaging was kind enough to invite me to use their Booth
- 2:41space in the afternoons to chat with people, like you coffee
- 2:45people. But I wanted to get a warm-up
- 2:47interview in before taking on the chaos.
- 2:51Luckily, I met Daniel Pascal from White Rock Coffee in The
- 2:54Press Room. Let's make sure I figured out
- 3:06how to do it. I'm going to find out.
- 3:09You didn't record any of it. You're going to find out that I
- 3:13didn't record any of that. Stop.
- 3:15Really it is it recording? I don't think it was.
- 3:20This is new to me. Okay, no worries, I get it.
- 3:23That was a great test run. Okay, here's the thing.
- 3:25Good, I'm glad I can't check to see if it actually recorded.
- 3:28Okay, so what a film? Let's just do it again.
- 3:30Just in case you see how different those two takes our if
- 3:33I could not do that. Exactly what I said the first
- 3:35time. Okay, this actually says
- 3:37recording, the red light has been on this whole time, okay?
- 3:39So if it's not recording, I don't know what to do.
- 3:43But let's start over. If you could tell us your name,
- 3:47the company worked for and your role with the company.
- 3:50Sure. So my name is Daniel Pasco, I
- 3:53work with White Rock Coffee. They're based out of Dallas,
- 3:55Texas. So, I've worked with White Rock
- 3:57Coffee, based out of Dallas, Texas, and I'm the assistant
- 4:00manager, of coffee education there.
- 4:02So I do all of our internal trainings for Barista and
- 4:05Brewing skills. And I assist with SCA classes
- 4:08that we put on at our true lab. How big, how long are we going
- 4:12around with the? Story with Larry.
- 4:13Yeah. So White Rock is approaching 17
- 4:16years old now. I believe we're going to hit
- 4:19that in just a few months. So that's very exciting.
- 4:22We're one of the oldest specialty Roasters in the Dallas
- 4:26area so if you were around in the early 2000s like 2006-7,
- 4:31something like that. If you were drinking specialty
- 4:33is probably White Rock in that town and these last few years
- 4:37have been a period of really strong growth for us.
- 4:40We're at six locations, right? Now we have our own Coffee
- 4:44Roastery. That's doing really, really well
- 4:46for our wholesale and e-commerce side.
- 4:49We have our own bake shop and commissary and house that we own
- 4:51and operate. So we produce all of our own
- 4:53food and we also have in SCA training campus, that is ours as
- 4:57well in Dallas where we put on Barista roasting and sensory
- 5:03classes for not only people in Dallas but internationally as
- 5:07well. Very cool.
- 5:09Most important question that I ask everyone.
- 5:12When you go to a new to you coffee shop, what do you order?
- 5:15So, favorite coffee, drink for me, is espresso.
- 5:19Espresso has got to be number one that has because of, there's
- 5:23so many variables so many ways that espresso can go the wrong
- 5:26route shop? That can do it consistently.
- 5:29Well, always catches my eye, even if it's not specifically
- 5:33like my style of roast or coffee, if it's consistent,
- 5:36that's a good thing. Another one would be there drip,
- 5:38as well, drip coffee is a great way to test Um a coffee shops
- 5:44kind of pride in their work because if they don't take the
- 5:46time to make sure their drip coffee is correct, I don't know
- 5:49how well I can trust all of the other more highly flaunted parts
- 5:53of their menu very cool. Well thank you very much for
- 5:57being on the show. Sure thing.
- 5:58I enjoyed it. Pretty sure that one we got.
- 6:00Okay, okay good. So it is safe to say the coffee
- 6:06people podcast recording sessions at Expo.
- 6:08Got off to an inauspicious start.
- 6:11I hope I use that word correctly.
- 6:13What can I say it was a new microphone.
- 6:15I'm usually recording from the closet Studio back home.
- 6:19Thankfully Daniel was kind about my misstep and generous with his
- 6:22time before we go any further, I want to let you know that, I'll
- 6:26share all the links from today's episode in the podcast, show
- 6:29notes and on roast westcoast.com.
- 6:32But if you want to check out White Rock coffee, while you're
- 6:34listening to the rest of this show, head to WR coffee.com, the
- 6:39following recordings were all held at the roast.
- 6:42Our booth inside the great room of the convention center.
- 6:45I love that you hear the energy of the convention in the
- 6:47background. But my voice may sound a little
- 6:50bit muffled due to the n95. Mask, I was wearing inside the
- 6:53center, I tried to project my voice but there's only so much I
- 6:56could do without taking it off. I'm not quite ready to do that
- 6:59in such a large group yet, but that's okay.
- 7:02Because I'm not the important one on this show the guests.
- 7:05Our guests like robber taken the head Roaster.
- 7:08At Northshore specialty. Coffee in Jackson, Mississippi.
- 7:13Yeah, my name is Robert haken I work for North Shore.
- 7:15Specialty coffee in Jackson, Mississippi.
- 7:19On The Roaster. And what do I love about coffee?
- 7:23I love that. It brings people together not
- 7:25just at an expo, but life conversations that happen.
- 7:29Hey, I need to talk to somebody. Let's meet For a cup of coffee,
- 7:34Rhonda has increased that experience, develop that
- 7:37experience as much as possible. Awesome.
- 7:39So then my next, my follow-up question to that is, when you go
- 7:43out into the world, you get the Expo.
- 7:45Yep. New coffee shop.
- 7:47What do you order I am. I like to see what they have.
- 7:52I like to try each of their roast.
- 7:54I'll get, I usually go for a lighter roast.
- 7:56See, what kind of flavors. They're bringing now, medium
- 7:59roast. But At the end of the day, I
- 8:03like coffee, I like coffee. I can drink a bad cup and I can,
- 8:09I can really enjoy a good cup. So I just like the community
- 8:12that it develops after Robert. I was visited by the effusive
- 8:17Tiff, Trent of Bongo Java Roasting Company in Nashville,
- 8:20Tennessee. The coffee is the best part of
- 8:25the day. My name is Tiffany tracking
- 8:28summative and I work for Bongo Java.
- 8:30When you go to a new coffee shop, what do you order?
- 8:34I order the same thing. Everywhere I go, kind of basic,
- 8:36but I get an iced milk latte with some vanilla.
- 8:40I didn't realize it at the time, but I've actually been to Bongo
- 8:43Java and phyto. One of their Cafe spaces while
- 8:46passing through Nashville. I remember thinking Bongo Java
- 8:50that's a fun name. During my next interview with
- 8:53Larry a roaster for Some neon llama coffee you can hear coffee
- 8:57beans being rotated in the background.
- 8:59That was one of the reasons it was so much fun being a Tessier,
- 9:02there was a ton going on all around you all the time.
- 9:05It was the ultimate in sensory overload.
- 9:10So, if you wouldn't mind, just tell me what your name is, and
- 9:13what company you work for Larry coffee, coffee, roaster, from
- 9:17neon llama. Yeah.
- 9:18Mama's Coffee Roasters. Great name for a coffee company.
- 9:22Thank you. I'm wondering.
- 9:23Why do you love coffee? I would love a coffee my whole
- 9:27life. You know, when you're a kid, you
- 9:29start drinking coffee, cold coffee, from your parents cup.
- 9:34All right. For some reason, I love that and
- 9:37it just grew back from the sea. These are all before coffee
- 9:42ever. Got to the specialty range?
- 9:44It is in now, just always loved the flavor and now it's just
- 9:49really great because there's so many great coffees around really
- 9:53how we have expanded our coffee world, for sure.
- 9:56Yeah the last question I have for you most important thing, if
- 10:00you go to a coffee shop, you've never been.
- 10:02What are you ordered for over? If they make them, I get
- 10:08disappointed in coffee shop. Oh, they don't do core over
- 10:11because that's, you know, I want to Fresh flavor of the coffee.
- 10:15I don't want something that's been sitting in a machine for a
- 10:19while. Fresh coffee is the the only way
- 10:22to go for example, assume they don't do pour overs, then I'll
- 10:25just get what they brewed, I guess, or a shot of espresso.
- 10:29If I come to Woodland, Washington, go to Neon Lama,
- 10:32what should I order pour over? I could be wrong but I think
- 10:40Larry is all about the poor over and I get it.
- 10:43He referenced drinking coffee cold when he was young.
- 10:46I do that now, not intentionally, but because I've
- 10:50set, my coffee cup down lost track of time.
- 10:52Working on this podcast, and then found it again an hour
- 10:55later. Often my favorite coffees are
- 10:58just as good at room temperature as they are right after the
- 11:01Brew. I feel that I can even pull more
- 11:03flavors out when my palate isn't navigating around the
- 11:06temperature of a hot cup of coffee.
- 11:09After Larry, the Baton was passed to the co-founder of La
- 11:12Republica superfoods Mark Murthy and from the jump his passion
- 11:17for the mushroom coffee. His company produces was
- 11:19evident. Even then, I look for places
- 11:25with mushroom coffee because like La, most coffee shops do
- 11:29have it, and it's fun when you actually are out of your out of
- 11:33place and you see that somebody has a chaga Chino or something.
- 11:37Because it's the fastest growing area of coffee and seems like
- 11:43nobody's heard about it Starbucks.
- 11:44Got into the game this week. So they've heard about it.
- 11:46They've done the research, but half the people, you talk to her
- 11:49like mushrooms. Let's get started with that.
- 11:53What is your name? And what is the name of your
- 11:55company? What do you do?
- 11:57Mark Murphy. I'm the co-founder of lava.
- 11:59Republica. Superfoods mushroom coffee, what
- 12:03is mushroom coffee? Ours is actually not a coffee
- 12:07alternative. It's coffee with mushroom
- 12:09extract added all at the highest level, organic fair trade, and
- 12:15most mushroom products out are not real mushrooms.
- 12:18Believe it or not, some don't even have mushrooms in it.
- 12:20It's made with the roots of Shrooms grown on grains and
- 12:24ground up. Ours is actually full fruiting
- 12:26bodies of mushroom, which means it grew on a tree.
- 12:30We took the actual mushroom and made it into a powder at a high
- 12:35extract level and added it to coffee.
- 12:38So that it's better than taking a pill.
- 12:40What is it that you love about the industry?
- 12:42Why did you get into this coffee coffee?
- 12:44Mushroom industry. Well, I was a songwriter and our
- 12:48competition was the first mushroom coffee in the world
- 12:51called for Sig mattock. And now a multi multi-million
- 12:53dollar company and they were the only mushroom coffee.
- 12:57We used to drink it before. We do a songwriting session
- 12:59because the focus that lion's mane mushing mushroom, gives
- 13:03gives you massive Focus. You can score up to twenty
- 13:06percent higher on tests when you're online Spain, mushroom.
- 13:09So college kids know about this and so we were taking it but the
- 13:14coffee tasted horrible. So we said can we make something
- 13:17better? Make it all organic and fair
- 13:19trade and that's why we started. We were the second Step mushroom
- 13:22coffee company, and only the third mushroom coffee company.
- 13:25And now there's 150 at least. Wow, that's incredible.
- 13:30I knew of like a couple three years.
- 13:32Well, Laird superfoods recently. Got into it Polly fiea, which is
- 13:36the big almond milk company. They have mushroom coffee, and
- 13:39all the stores now black and like a container own, which was
- 13:44just mushrooms. Fake mushrooms, by the way.
- 13:46But, only now does a mushroom coffee, if you go into Erewhon
- 13:51or Central Skits or Whole Foods, they have mushroom coffee on the
- 13:54menu like it's Bristol Farms any any like high-end retailer?
- 14:00Grocery store has it on the menu and so it's kind of like
- 14:03kombucha 10 years ago. I talked to people about
- 14:06kombucha, they had no idea what it is and you can't go anywhere
- 14:08now with kombucha, not on the menu so it's it is the largest
- 14:13growing kegger of mushroom of coffee.
- 14:15Industry is mushroom problems. So then can you find mushroom?
- 14:21Coffee Outlet, like what do you Or when you go to a coffee shop,
- 14:24you're out on the road, the popular names are like a chaga
- 14:26Chino, which is chaga, mushroom, added to a cappuccino, or a
- 14:30lion's mane latte, which lines means the big Focus mushroom.
- 14:33So they're focusing on single mushrooms, and what?
- 14:36That does. Chaga gives you clean energy.
- 14:39They do 100 different, great things for the body, but the
- 14:41main things they do, people will take it for.
- 14:44We have seven mushrooms in our coffee.
- 14:46So it's what I call kind of the full spectrum of, you're getting
- 14:51the benefits of all. Seven mushrooms their cancer.
- 14:54Fighters they're anti-inflammatories there.
- 14:58I mean, just blood sugar level errs.
- 15:00I mean, when you read through what mushrooms do in the body
- 15:02and have done for thousands of years it's an incredible thing.
- 15:07Oh, Ray she's been really popular re she T people probably
- 15:11heard of 10, 20 years ago, coffee and tea shops will have a
- 15:15reishi t. It's very calming, not just like
- 15:18makes you sleepy but it just comes your spirit.
- 15:21So we have She chaga lion's mane and for others in our coffee.
- 15:26Wow. Well before before you go tell
- 15:28us the name of that company again.
- 15:29Yes La Republica. Super Foods were in La based
- 15:33company. So the law with the three stars
- 15:35over its kind of symbolizes a la Republica.
- 15:39And yeah, we are getting into mushroom.
- 15:43T's mushroom, matcha and we've got golden milk and hot
- 15:48chocolate with mushroom, so yeah, anything that's good.
- 15:50We can add mushrooms to it. Make a better.
- 15:55Quick to schools your time. This show isn't making any
- 15:58claims about the health or Focus benefits of mushrooms or
- 16:02mushroom coffee. I do love mushrooms but I
- 16:04haven't researched the effects of ingesting mushrooms,
- 16:06previously, nor read up on it since meeting Mark at least not
- 16:10yet, but I can appreciate how his personal experience led to a
- 16:14career in the coffee industry. That chat also gives me a reason
- 16:18to point out. How much bigger than coffee, the
- 16:20specialty coffee Association Expo and the coffee industry at
- 16:23large is. Coffee is the connector, but the
- 16:26floor was full of people from other steps along the supply
- 16:29chain including representatives for organic or fair trade
- 16:32organizations, manufacturing companies, producing Coffee
- 16:36Bean, sorting machines, and even graphic design.
- 16:38Companies looking to share the stories of other coffee
- 16:42companies that barely scratches the surface of the number of
- 16:45different companies and industries that were represented
- 16:48at the sca Expo Desi. Enterin were the next guests to
- 16:53stop by the roast our booth. My name is Desi and I work for
- 16:58big blue coffee company which is in healthcare and the Coeur
- 17:02d'Alene area and Idaho North Idaho.
- 17:04And we use a local roaster Evans, Brothers, Coffee Company,
- 17:08out of Sandpoint. Very cool Coeur.
- 17:10D'Alene may be the most beautiful place that people know
- 17:14about, but they never go because it's so far north.
- 17:16Well, they're coming by the drones.
- 17:19And so, the secret is out, it is very beautiful.
- 17:23There's something for everyone, lots of coffee to you.
- 17:26I mean, I don't want to shout out anyone besides Ivan's
- 17:29Brothers, but you will find a lot of coffee.
- 17:30Yes, there is lots of coffee, but fewer specialty coffee done.
- 17:36Well, let's say you are traveling, like, you are.
- 17:39Now you go to a new coffee shop. What do you order?
- 17:43I usually order a doppio. I want the full, you know,
- 17:48roastiness of the espresso I want to taste that and the first
- 17:52thing I do is I listen for the steam wand.
- 17:56And if I can hear it screaming, I usually turn around and leave
- 18:01dark roast. So yeah, she's a dark roast
- 18:04coffee, the darker, the better drip coffee.
- 18:07That tastes like, I licked an ashtray and then drink it.
- 18:10Love it. Love the ash flavor when you get
- 18:13a nice dark coffee. That sounds I don't To
- 18:16stereotype but like northern Idaho to me, you're not wrong,
- 18:20it just hit me with a nice cup of dark roast and if it's not
- 18:23good coffee, that I might come back to you for some cream.
- 18:26What is it? That you love about the coffee
- 18:27industry as a whole. Well, I've been in the coffee
- 18:31industry for probably 20 years and you would think that, you
- 18:36know, when you've been in doing something for, as long as I
- 18:38have, you know, you know, it all, but in coffee, you never
- 18:42know it. All the, you know, the
- 18:44extraction principles. The Brewing vessels change.
- 18:49And I think the people are the thing that don't change, its a
- 18:53copy community. And when I come to these events,
- 18:56it's like a ticket reunions like a family reunions.
- 18:59And I think that's what I love about.
- 19:01It is just the community of people, like, we're all in it
- 19:04together and we might have, you know, a cafe up, the street from
- 19:07somebody else. But at the end of the day, we
- 19:10want them to be successful also. And so I think just the
- 19:14community of what coffee and does to her, Like people and
- 19:16bringing them together to produce a really great moment
- 19:20for people and they could come around the table and share that.
- 19:23That's what I love about it. I love it because I don't know.
- 19:28There's too many places where I can buy something from Roll
- 19:31Ethiopia from somebody that I will probably never meet, never
- 19:34know and lives in a completely different lifestyle and have it
- 19:38travel all the way to North Idaho, where I finish it and
- 19:41hand it to somebody else, who's from God knows where, and it
- 19:45just kind of brings everybody. A circle and it's delicious.
- 19:48I don't know that I love anything else.
- 19:51Taste-wise more than coffee. But there's also that side of it
- 19:54where when you think about it, how far it travels?
- 19:56No, other food product travels, that far and takes that to.
- 19:59Let's just I do love to visit northern Idaho and if you
- 20:04weren't familiar a doppio is the Italian term for a double
- 20:07espresso. You don't hear that much in the
- 20:09United States unless you're in the Pacific Northwest where
- 20:12Starbucks used to have it on their menu, I've heard the term,
- 20:15but I admittedly did a smile and Nod in the moment until I had a
- 20:19chance to double check. My coffee vocabulary, Rolodex
- 20:23Desi was definitely not wrong in her Proclamation, that no matter
- 20:26how long you've been working in coffee, you never know it all
- 20:30finally, I close my first day at the Expo with a great
- 20:34conversation with Rich, the head of coffee, quality at discourse
- 20:37coffee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My name is Rich stouter.
- 20:42I am here. Representing discourse, coffee
- 20:44from Milwaukee. Wisconsin.
- 20:46We are a third wave coffee shop that basically has kind of
- 20:51Blended and mixed Mixology as well as Gastronomy into our mix
- 20:56of coffee. We have two shops as well as a
- 20:59sister company called the counter.
- 21:02All in Milwaukee area, and we just love having fun, and doing
- 21:06things that are a little bit different compared to the norm.
- 21:08And it's been just wonderful. This is actually basically see.
- 21:14Last time I've been to Expo was back in.
- 21:18Holy crap, 2016. So it's been a while.
- 21:22Wow, say that again, you said of really fancy important thing at
- 21:26the beginning, we specialize in gastro, what?
- 21:29So we take in mix get stronger. Enemy as well as Mixology into
- 21:34our coffee. So like yeah we've got some
- 21:37crazy stuff things that like we kind of fall more into the
- 21:41experimental realm. For example we have a drink
- 21:45right now that uses basically butterfly pea flower tea mixed
- 21:52with a chamomile infused milk that literally will blow your
- 22:00mind off and by the time the Drink is done, which is called
- 22:03waves within. You literally feel like you are
- 22:06drinking, almost like Blue Moon, ice cream is fantastic.
- 22:12What is it that you love about coffee?
- 22:14And the coffee industry? Honestly for me, um, so like I
- 22:20took a Hiatus from coffee for a little bit for like four years

- 22:28pushed me back into coffee. Honestly.
- 22:31It's the friendships the networking, as well, as the
- 22:33direct relations that I have gotten to be a part of.
- 22:40I have met so many amazing Roasters that it has just blown
