NEW EPISODE ALERT!!! Coffee Savant #3 - Eskedar Episode Link: https://lnkd.in/dS9cGk-j Homepage Link: https://bmatke.com/ Eskedar Tilahun Maštavičienė is my good friend but also has a deeply inspiring and motivational story of her own which she shared on my podcast today. We both sat down and had an original Ethiopian coffee with spiced butter and talked about her life in Vilnius. She shared her journey as a refugee, prisoner in Lybia and taking a life-threatening boat trip across the ocean to safety in Malta before ending up in Lithuania as a pregnant student. Probably the craziest story I’ve heard from somebody in person that she not only survived but managed to thrive and built a coffee business in Vilnius. What started as simple Ethiopian Coffee ceremony for local friends inflated into a roasting business as well as four Cafes in Vilnius, where you can find her as well as her community enjoying each other’s company. Eskedar also shared her recent trip back home after 19 years and how painful it actually was to see what she discovered on the Coffee Plantations in her home-country. Listen to this episode to understand the full scope of it all and share it with people around the world who are interested in the different stories of coffee savants around the world.
