Speaker: Coffee Stories, Pak Som Pech Katasom Sakkul by Emaniro. Pak Som Pech Katasom Sakkul, the owner of the coffee business 50 Milk Street in Thailand, has returned for another interview with I'm Not a Barista with a special update.
Speaker: Pac and his team had great success with the coffee wristbands charity program, a program that involves selling wristbands in order to make a profit that is then distributed to people in need that work in the coffee industry. In Pac's case, he was focusing on the coffee farmers in Thailand.
Speaker: PAC said, we have a total of 25 ,389 THB, about 750 USD, by selling 250 wristbands. This allows us to buy a total of about 750 Geisha and Java plants for farming communities that needed improvement.
Speaker: People were aware that certain farming communities were falling behind in the coffee industry. Pac took it upon himself to give these farmers a fair chance by purchasing Geisha and Java plants from coffee tree breeding provider, Ban Manipruak Farm, Thung Chiang, Nan, Thailand. Once the Thailand Coffee Festival wraps up, Pac and his team will be delivering the plants to these farmers personally. When Pac is not aiding the farming community, he is putting all his effort into his employees at 50 Milk Street.
Speaker: After working at the Marriott Courtyard in Rhode Island in Seattle, Pack has concluded that the customer isn't always right, and his employees' happiness should be prioritized. He is all about educating his employees and keeping their passion for coffee alive. So why does Pack's victory matter? Why should people care?
Speaker: Well, if you're an avid coffee lover and the farmers do not have access to great coffee plants, then you do not have access to a great cup of coffee. Farmers are some of the most vital people in the coffee business, and they constantly get overlooked. It's time for you to look their way, just as Pac has done and appreciate all their hard work.
