Welcome to another episode of the Brewed Awakenings Podcast, where we delve into the fascinating world of coffee, one cup at a time. I'm your host, Kevin Ly, a café owner from Sydney, Australia, committed to bringing you inspiring stories and practical insights from coffee industry experts from around the globe.

In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Nawar Adra. Nawar is not just a coffee enthusiast, but a pioneer in the industry.  Recognising the need for more accessibility and knowledge-sharing in the industry, Nawar founded the Ensemble of Coffee Research and Education, or ECRE, a community focused on making the industry more sustainable and, ultimately, producing better coffee. But Nawar's passion for coffee didn't stop there. He's also the founder and owner of STITCH COFFEE, a company known for its dedication to fostering connections through coffee and education.

Nawar’s journey began as a barista trying to break into roasting, facing hurdles that would deter many. Yet, his perseverance and innovative spirit led him to create these two remarkable platforms that are shaping the future of the coffee industry.

Whether you're a coffee shop owner looking for new ideas or a coffee aficionado interested in the behind-the-scenes of the industry, you're in for a treat. So, get your favourite cup of joe ready, and join us as we dive into Nawar's inspiring journey, his unique insights, and his vision for the future of coffee.
