The Beautiful Inconsistencies of Coffee and Mezcal

It's impossible with coffee beans to get consistency in flavors and aromas from one harvest to the next. Add in the processing of those beans into that morning drug that starts most of our days and … still more barriers to consistency. Which reminds me so much of the things that I love about agave spirits. It’s yet another inconsistent episode of Agave Road Trip!

Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. Lou Bank hosts this episode alongside Aaron Campos of Dark Matter Coffee.

Episode Notes

You know what else is beautifully inconsistent from one batch to the next? Chartreuse. And we (that’s Aaron and I, and probably you, too) love Chartreuse!

We also love Freddie Sarkis!

And Unicorn Blood aged in brandy barrels!

I’m not sure what I love most about this picture of Aaron Campos of Dark Matter Coffee: that his hair is relatively combed (it’s never combed) or that he’s carrying around a black skull and smiling like a happy Hamlet.
