I’m absolutely delighted to have Christina Avaness on the show today, who is the Founder of Papua Coffee as well as the author of the healthy lifestyle book “Living Beyond Organic: Nutritional Knowledge Redefined!”. Christina is also a Food Alchemist and a Shakti Reiki Master.
I know that coffee can have a bit of a negative reputation. Which is justified in some cases, but I’ve found that the coffee that is the centerpiece of today’s conversation is an exception. It’s called “Papua Coffee” and I’ve found that when I drink it, it fills me with a deep sense of wellbeing, both physically and mentally. I started drinking this coffee about 13 years ago, and what I started to observe, is that it actually supports me with tapping into a creative flow state. Nowadays, I consider it a key component in my toolbox of tools that I use to support me in my creative process.
Christina and her family went through their own healing journey using food and herbs, which is also how the creation of Papua Coffee came about, and you’ll hear all about that in today’s episode. You’ll also learn about Christina’s spiritual journey and how her work with energy influences the roasting of the coffee. Other than that, Christina offers up some really wise and beautiful words on creativity and listening to those is a real treat as well.
I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to have Tina on the show and to share her wisdom with all of you!
Enjoy the show, Friends!

“Everybody has something creative they want to express, but it comes out in a different form.” - Christina Avaness
“Creativity means to me being in direct connection with your true essence and allowing that to flow out in whatever form is expressive of that creativity for you.” - Christina Avaness

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
