For our show on Friday April 27th, Pacific Underground producer Kat Batuigas chats with Carmel Laurino, founder of Kalsada Coffee Company. Kalsada, which means "road" in Filipino, partners with smallholder coffee farmers in the Philippines to bring quality Philippine coffee from farm to cup.

Carmel and Kat talk about the coffee industry in the Philippines, Kalsada's beginnings, and their approach to working sustainably and ethically with local producers. Carmel also shares her experiences being "simultaneously in and out" as a Filipina-American living in the Philippines.
