Finding Mexico’s Best Coffee in a Oaxacan Cloud Forest | Local Legends | Brad Leone

[@mrowproductions]

this is something that mainstream media / TV can't even get close to in terms of quality and authenticity.

[@Specs0p]

The world needs more of this. Genuine, caring people. Keep it up Brad

[@JR-nq7mc]

Damn. This shit made me emotional lol. I only wish I could find something I love as much as this dude loves growing coffee beans. What a gift.

[@DrNinjar]

Normally Brad is putting his energy into the video and people are trying to match or they are just there. This time he is there witnessing another person's passion, as well as the persons around him. I think it is fantastic that the editing took a step back to really tell the story of these people, show what they believe, and how (generationally) committed they are to creating something great and meaningful with sustainable practices.

[@sarahleenalabib6465]

This film was so captivating. I also felt emotional watching. Gustavo is such a wonderful person, it was an honor to listen to him. Like the other comments say, this was so educational.

[@TheArmachillo]

“The only way to say things sometimes is to *do it*, then they don’t have to be said” qué hermoso episodio!

[@DanielMatulich]

I teach aquaponics and sustainable farming. I tell all my students, ALL OF THEM, that the closer we get to natural processes, the better. I always talk to them about silvopasture and successional agroforestry, as my old coworker ( solar punk farmer ) talked to me about it. It's ***SO GOOD*** to see these methods coming to the forefront of media by way of Brad and others. If we moved in this direction on a larger scale, things like floods and droughts would be less intense, and possibly a thing of the past, even in the face of intensifying climatic action. Really happy for this episode. I was talking to my wife about a bunch of the concepts covered before they happened on screen, and when Gustavo mentioned them in the exact same way, I was like "!!!!!!!!" Love this. Love it love it love it.

[@A.Spivey]

Wow! Maybe the best local legends ever!

[@chriswilson409]

Brad, you really are a Locales Legendario!!! I was fortunate enough to go to Nicaragua to buy and taste coffees for work as a roaster in 2016! Covid kind of removed me from the coffee world as far as work goes, but watching this brought back so many wonderful memories of small, successful fincas! You have really done an excellent job showing everyone what goes into growing and processing the bean!!! Gus will be your amigo for life I guarantee you that!!! Thank you for all you do Brad!! And I hope to try some of Gus’ coffee someday!

[@sageDieuvids]

Easily my favorite episode yet, masterful intro and great balance of pacing, education, humor, and just getting to know this awesome guy. Great job, hope this blows up and unlocks even more awesome opportunities.

[@Duspende]

You just keep churning out absolute bangers. This episode made me emotional. Love you and this content. Keep up the stellar work.

[@user-qz7ro5ho3i]

Thank you for showing Mexico in such a beautiful way. Mexicans are artisans and deserve to have their crafts to shown off. & also hilarious! This episode was so special to me, thank you Brad 🙏🏽

[@Hogslice]

It's a shame that Brad's channel doesn't have over a million subscribers. Great content, funny guy, and very educational.

[@45axelh]

He will get there if he keeps making quality videos like this one.

It's only been 1 year, give it time he will get there and beyond.

The channel is new! Its actually doing insanely well for how fresh it is. It takes most people many years to get to the point this channel is at right now. Give it a few years and it will 4x the current size easily. Especially if the videos are this kind of quality.

[@momog5615]

I’ve given thought to why Brad isn’t bigger and I think his goofy guy thing holds him back from being the next Bourdain because people don’t respect him they just like him

[@frankvillari123]

I’m blown away by the level of production Brad’s been bringing with this channel and this especially was an amazing watch. Keep killing it Brad I don’t understand how they haven’t gotten you for a series on Netflix.

[@TR-ry1xv]

wish I could give this more thumbs up. This guy is Global Legend.

[@pamelagutierrez947]

This was a beautiful episode!!!! Oaxaca is indeed a very very special place on Earth ❤

[@jesspillaymusic]

Brad, you've really hit your stride with this series and this style of storytelling. As much as I love the goofball kitchen antics of It's Alive and Makin' It, it's amazing to watch you dive deeper into more substantial stories like this. Great work to you and your team! Keep these stories comin'!

[@ryanwaddington1598]

What a wonderful story of passion, dedication and thanks to his community and growers!!! And better yet a story of environmentally conscious people who care about the world, their product and the continuation of a business and the people who rely on it! Definitely a local legend!!! He should be a world wide legend!!!!

[@rivasvalerie123]

As a fellow Mexican-American ,nothing brings me more joy, happiness and pride than mi campesinos and roots being shown in such a beautiful light. This is just a reminder of all the beautiful Mexico is besides all the beaches and resorts.

[@dreZmay]

I always love these Local Legends episodes and adore the people on them. But this one in particular really touched my heart.

[@andreacontreras8153]

Brads has a different type of love towards anyone making a change in the world. I love how original his videos are. His creativity is totally different and I hope he keeps his originality.

[@hjaltihjartarson]

This is where Brad and his team shines. Intimite discussions about things that people love. Thank you for this

[@gnastyyye9410]

I honestly live for this channel, it’s my comfort channel. Brad deserves all the recognition coming to him!

[@jacobbush6505]

It's en-heartening to witness a sustainable business participating with the ecology and care of the planet. To be in the communion of our creative humanities! It's hard to know that there is so much destruction in our everyday benefits. Truly enlightening! Giving such a graceful gratitude to doing our best in the world, for the world. Blessings.

[@actrojan]

¡Joven! What a freakin' episode, eh?!!! Que gusto y orgullo being Mexican and seeing this get so much love. Gracias, Brad...El Guero del Este!😅❤😂🎉

You guys hit it out of the park with this episode. It was an absolute joy to watch.

[@Palinckx5907]

When I was working in the coffee world, I learned from a Russian coffee master. He's got his own little projects of aging the coffee beans in whiskey barrels and such. Some of the best coffee you'll ever have. Man had awards for years. True passion. Good episode Brad. Brought back some good memories.

[@gomezest]

One of the best episodes!! Thank you señor Brad!

[@RalphMelis]

I can't drink coffee anymore, but this whole video was incredible. I wish we had more of this all over the world. You can tell this is so much more than just a job or just a life's work for everyone involved. There is pure love for the earth and what it provides and that's the most beautiful part.

Coffee holds a dear place in my heart and has been formative for me and my career even outside the coffee industry now. I’m really happy to see such a conscious farm being spotlighted

[@blablabla2616]

Wow what a inspiring man , integrity in all angles of working with nature not against it - acknowledging all the people that are part of it and been part of it - and being mindful of health of the people he will be selling his coffie too! . Absolutely beautiful property . This was so Inspireing -when it feels like the world is just so fixated on making the dollars at all cost it seems so hard to not get pulled in to the system -this is not the easy way but hes done it and had success, so cool i very much relate to his way of thinking 😊.

[@josephg.4383]

For the negative comments, Gustavo is Mexican, born and raised. His good humor (very Mexican) and ability to convey his passion and Philosophy is what sets him apart and which makes him a great spokesman for all the farmers like him. I was touched by what he said about his wife (he doesn't deserve her). Great Job Team Brad!
