"When I first ventured into the world of coffee in 2007, in my final year at Ashesi University in Ghana, I like many others had no idea that any coffee was produced in Ghana. There was no access to coffee education, no introduction to green coffee courses, or any training on processing methods, roasting, or barista training. Fast forward 15 years and the African coffee landscape has completely evolved. With the rise of global coffee chains and artisan roasteries, coffee education and barista championships have finally come to Africa."
