Filter Stories - Coffee Documentaries
A podcast revealing the extraordinary stories hidden in your cup of coffee
Sofía
What were your dreams at 16? Sofía lives on a remote coffee farm in Nicaragua and hers is to be a great english translator.

Each coffee we drink holds the hopes of Sofía living a life off this farm. Or is that just wishful thinking?
