We sat down with our Head of QC for a quick interview to learn more about his history with coffee and his favourite parts of the job.

Toshi Ishiwata is Market Lane Coffee’s quality control manager and dedicated sourcer of Brazilian coffee. In this Japanese-language book, Toshi discusses his work with Market Lane and all things coffee!

Pedro summed up their sentiment perfectly when we last visited. 'It is our greatest satisfaction to be part of, and contribute to, the development of the coffee-growing culture in Bolivia.’

“We are always talking and thinking of what can we do better to produce more, and better quality. For me it’s a pleasure to be in the middle of a plantation. It keeps me thinking of the future, because coffee is long term.”
