Episode #14: Rwandan Social Entrepreneur & 6th Generation Coffee importer

Podcast Season 2 starts here… We’re delighted to have Phil Schluter from OLAM coffee join us to tell us the story behind our latest Rwanda Coffee. Theo from Rwanda joins us to complete the narrative… And what a story it is!

Meet the incredible people behind our latest Rwandan coffee. Its such a great story you had to hear it from them.

Meet Phil - a 6th Generation coffee importer from Liverpool who heard about a chap called Theo who has a powerful vision to sell coffee and put the profits to helping children at risk in his native country of Rwanda. However, after a bit of issues with western coffee buyers, he ended up nearly going to prison/ This is where Phil stepped in, and introduced us and a load of other uk coffee roasters to Theo. We've now got our hands on the coffee and it tastes incredible but even better knowing the drink is helping support Theo's incredible vision.
