Ready to dive deep into the world of coffee, where the chill of iced coffee squares off with cold brews? That's what we're brewing up in our chat with Michael Harwood, co-owner of Vignette Coffee Roasting. He demystifies the difference between these two summer saviors, explaining why cold brew may just outlast iced coffee in your fridge. But that's not all - he takes us on a sensory exploration of coffee roasting, unraveling the stark contrast between being a barista and the physical demands of toasting those beans to perfection.

The conversation doesn't stop there. We stir the pot on the importance of seasonality in coffee buying. How does it affect your cup of joe? Does it bring more value to you, the coffee aficionado? We discuss how the hard work of farmers, pickers, and processors adds to the quality of the coffee and why it's crucial to buy in sync with the seasons. We even touch upon the globe's northern and southern hemisphere dividing line and its impact on coffee availability. So, refill your cup and join us on this caffeinated journey that's sure to change your perspective on your morning brew.
