THE MONK OF MOCHA | COFFEE COMMERCE

The cultivation and commercialization of coffee around the globe started with a Monk who was better known as a smuggler… I am the grandson of a coffee farmer from Guyana, South America. This channel is about the areas where coffee intersects with commerce. Commerce is not only defined as the interchange of goods and services. It is also the interchange of ideas, opinions and sentiments. This channel is focused on the commerce of coffee. These are stories about how the platform of coffee was instrumental in influencing businesses, economies, industries, jobs, ideas, governments, language, icons, characters, health, even technology, landscape and various social settings. The short stories on this channel are geared to focus on these areas and to be just long enough to enjoy your cup of coffee. Coffee videos are published weekly: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsoCnGJOm2RJJjga7fT1YMg A special thank you to Jordan Ramitt for his creativity with this channel.
