The Hawaii Coffee Book
Coffee scientist and author Shawn Steiman is a graduate student at the University of Hawaii-Manoa specializing in coffee studies. He is currently completing his doctoral dissertation on the effects of shade culture on coffee quality, physiology, and chemistry. Steiman frequently lectures and conducts workshops with farmers and the general public on coffee-related topics. His recently launched business, Coffea Consulting, uses science-based information to help farmers grow high-quality coffee, sustainably, and connoisseurs on all aspects of coffee. Working with small farmers is a passion for Steiman, who has traveled to Zambia to help smallholder coffee growers compete in the world coffee market.
