A country and its people offer so much insight into its culture, traditions and way of life through its culinary offerings. And the way they brew their coffee, of course. Follow those enticing smells and the rumble of your stomachs to food, glorious food…
COFFEE GUIDE
We’re Australian. OF COURSE, we’re coffee snobs. He’s from Melbourne, so he’s even snobbier than me (a Brisbanite). But so we should be and can be because arguably, some of the best baristas are trained in Australia. So when we travel, we’re always on the lookout for the best beans that a city can produce! Check out our Coffee Guides of the cities that we’ve visited and make sure to let us know of your favourites that we may not have mentioned or come across yet!
Third Wave Coffee
For those not familiar with the term, the “third wave” of coffee was coined in 1999 by American, Timothy J. Castle, and has come to refer to the movement to produce high-quality coffee, aspiring to be a culinary artisanal foodstuff (much like wine and cheese) rather than just a traded commodity. Third wave coffee strives to improve all stages of coffee production; from growing and harvesting coffee beans to building strong relationships with coffee growers, traders and roasters, it works towards building more sustainable processes that lead to high-quality ethical production.
The Travel Quandary works to support local businesses and communities through the purchase of foods and produce that have been ethically sourced, produced and traded. Read here to learn more about Our Responsible Travel Ethos.
