Today’s questions all come from Dr. Mack in Bangkok, Thailand. Even though he is asking the question on behalf of coffee producers in Thailand, I wanted to answer them on the podcast because they are relevant to all of the newer coffee producing regions.Thailand didn’t export coffee until 1976! This is very recent and not a lot of time for coffee growers and producers to develop their craft and catch up with older coffee growing regions like Colombia, where I am living. Colombia was already exporting coffee in 1835.As new regions begin to grow coffee, the questions in this podcast will become more and more relevant.Dr. Mack's questions allow me to address a few things like:

• How to avoid fermentation during transportation from the farm to mill
• How to use yeast with rust resistant varieties
• How to do a honey or a natural process while avoiding mold growth (a common problem in humid tropical countries)
