Summary: This week on the SCA Podcast, we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of Re:co Symposium, SCA's annual event dedicated to high-level discussions in specialty coffee. Peter Giuliano, SCA's Chief Research Officer and Director of Re:co, joins us to talk about the role of the event in the industry and to present two talks by Dr. Aaron Davis, a botanist and Senior Research Leader of Plant Resources at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. In the first talk we’ll listen to from 2013, recorded at Re:co Symposium in Boston, Aaron talks about his introduction to coffee by a colleague, his co-discovery of 20 new coffee species, and his analysis of Arabica coffee's evolution and possible extinction.
