Within the labyrinthine corridors of Sasa Sestic’s coffee company Ona, in Canberra’s industrial enclave of Fyshwick, we reverentially take a seat in the main office. In comes someone carrying a tray containing glass jugs of deep brown brew. No words are spoken as Sasa puts his nose to the first jug and inhales deeply. “This”, he announces, “is Blue Copper–one of our experimental lots from Ethiopia.” We sip slowly and find ourselves swirling the suspension over our tastebuds. There are hints of red wine and dark chocolate. Our heavy pottery cups drain and it is time for the second brew—a washed Panama bean that is light with jasmine with a hint of green tea. Who knew coffee could be so complex? Sasa does. His good friend Mick Rose—also in the coffee trade—says Sasa is so deeply connected to coffee, so emotionally invested, so single- minded and obsessive, that one sip of an exceptional roast can bring him to tears. “Oh yeah, I have seen him cry when he drinks it,” says Mick. Sasa has also been known to travel for days to find a particular coffee bush—35 hours in planes, 10 hours of driving followed by several hours on horseback, through thick jungle. Nothing stands between him and the next great bean. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 ...

  • Sustainable Tourism: World Trends and Challenges Ahead 11 Eugenio Yunis 4
    Ecotourism Book Series General Editor: David B. Weaver, Professor of Tourism Management, George Mason University, Virginia, USA. Ecotourism, or nature-based tourism that is managed to be learning-orientated as environ- mentally and socioculturally sustainable, has emerged in the past 20 years as one of the most important sectors within the global tourism industry. The purpose of this series is to provide diverse stakeholders (e.g. academics, graduate and senior undergraduate students, practitioners, protected area managers, government and non-governmental organizations) with state-of-the-art and scientifically sound strategic knowledge about all the facets of eco- tourism, including external environments that influence its development. Contributions adopt a holistic, critical and interdisciplinary approach that combines relevant theory and practice while placing case studies from specific destinations into an international context. The series supports the development and diffusion of financially viable ecotourism that fulfils the objective of environmental, socio-cultural and economic sustainability at both the local and global scale.
