SOURCE: A Green Buying Panel

Both Episodes Out Now

Hosted by Cafe Imports | Panelists of Green Buyers from Cafe Imports, Atlas Coffee Importers & Royal Coffee | Moderated by Chris Baca of Cat & Cloud Coffee

During this year’s SCA Expo in Houston, we hosted SOURCE, a live podcast event featuring three importers and moderated by Chris Baca of Cat & Cloud. We’re excited to finally be able to share the recording of this event as a 2-part podcast with video.

About the Conversation

The live recording was held on April 26th during SCA Expo. Moderated by Chris Baca of Cat & Cloud Coffee and the Cat & Cloud Podcast, the panel featured Omar Herrera and Piero Cristiani from Cafe Imports, Susan Heller Evenson from Atlas Coffee, and Charlie Habegger from Royal Coffee.

They chatted about the topics of the moment from the C market and tariffs to how to communicate challenges and changes to customers. The first part of the podcast features a guided conversation on these timely subjects, and the second part includes an open Q&A session with the audience.

We’re excited about this release and look forward to having the conversation continue on a broader scope.

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the conversation. We also want to thank Created for sending us some beautiful glassware, True Anomaly Brewing for lending their space, Atlas and Royal for sharing their team, and Chris and Michael of Cat & Cloud for guiding, documenting, and publishing the chat. We hope you enjoy these episodes!
