Your morning coffee is sending you a message. Are you listening?
In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima explores how climate change is reshaping one of the most beloved daily rituals on the planet. Coffee may seem simple, but the story behind your cup spans deforestation, biodiversity loss, shifting growing zones, rising prices, farmer displacement, and the hard truth that Arabica is running out of the cool, stable climate it needs to survive.
Featuring insights from:
• Etelle Higonnet on coffee’s massive role in global deforestation and monoculture
• Toni Farmer on why the U.S. cannot grow its way out of a shrinking global supply
• Sam Kass on why coffee, wine, and chocolate may become luxury goods
• Nancy Matsumoto on how women-led cooperatives are building climate resilience
You will learn:
• Why half of all coffee-growing land may become unsuitable by 2050
• How climate change is pushing coffee production further uphill
• Why small increases in coffee prices trigger global food insecurity
• How women farmers are rewriting the future of coffee resilience
• What consumers can look for if they want to support more sustainable coffee
This is not just a story about coffee. It is a story about climate, farmers, and the everyday rituals that reveal how connected we are to the world that grows our food.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
