The art of roasting coffee: a "Native to Native" exchange
It's more than listening to the "cracks" and timing them to perfection; it's creating blends and roasts that speak to people. Especially when cultural heritage bonds tribes. Master Roaster Ben Haile created the “Native to Native” exchange, with a goal to develop cooperative efforts to support the Indigenous Organic Coffee Farms in Central and South America. Learn how his grandfather, Chief ThunderBird (Henry Bess), revived Shinnecock culture around 1946 by re-introducing Pow Wows; can you name the 13 Original Tribes of Long Island? Hint: read their coffee bags and enjoy your cup of coffee. Sound on!

To learn more about how you can be the chef and the star at your home, sound on!
