This is an interview with Pack Katisomsakul of 50 Milk Street. I interviewed Pack for an article about the specialty coffee scene in Thailand for an upcoming article in Coffee T&I Magazine.
I was surprised to hear about Pack's story of being a tech startup founder-turned-coffee enthusiast, and everything he discovered about coffee in Thailand. I learned so much I never knew before.
Key takeaways include: an intimate and well-connected supply chain, a domestic consuming culture, all the new varieties and processing methods being used in Thailand today, the impact of COVID-19 on home brewing, and so much more.
Let me know what you think about this interview, and what you learned about Thai coffee. The Coffee T&I article should be out soon, so keep an eye out for that. And thanks for watching!
