The Morning After
Toby's Estate and Stephanie Ault
By now most of you have probably seen this viral video but today Jason Colucci takes you to the man behind the 12 year old, Jeremiah McDonald, to start off the Morning After with a laugh. Then stay tuned as Toby Smith of Toby's Estate coffee talks about taking your trade seriously and, in the case of coffee, the importance of choosing your sources. Following that vein guest artist and piano-wielding chanteuse Stephanie Ault talks about how she got into her trade after following many different paths from acting to working at Mast Brother's Chocolate, which subsequently inspired he latest album. This episode is sponsored by The Hearst Ranch.
"[On the practice of cupping] Cupping, for the trade, is to find defects. But a lot of cupping now is about identifying coffees that really stand out on the table.
