This is the longest ever recorded episode of this podcast. But I just couldn't stop talking and picking Shak Zapata's brain. He is not only a grand barista capable of pulling espressos that will make you weep out of excitement but he has also traveled extensively to secure  some of the best Mexican coffees. On this episode we explore the hows and whys of fermenting this powerful bean. Make sure to grab an espresso from Shak at Casa Cardinal:https://www.instagram.com/casacardinal/ A big shout out to the "Anímate" employee resource group at Crunchyroll for sponsoring this episode.
