Felipe, having been born in Colombia, was introduced to coffee at a very early age, perhaps at an age where he shouldn’t have been drinking coffee. He later moved to Canada, where coffee became and continues to be a necessity in the mornings because he's not a morning person!

Felipe later moved to Japan for two years, where he was introduced to the world of tea. He had drank tea before, but only low-quality teabags which didn’t really do justice to the wonderous Camellia Sinensis plant (the tea plant). 

While in Japan, he tried countless variations of tea, drank some really cheap and really expensive teas, participated in various tea ceremonies, tea planting and roasting, and discovered that tea is an integral part of many cultures around the world.

Upon his return to Canada, Felipe realized the same for coffee. So many things revolve around coffee within many cultures. How could two plants impact the world so much?

An engineer by training, Felipe decided to embark in a journey of learning about coffee and tea, while at the same time sharing his new-found knowledge with you, using an evidence-based approach!
