Rebecca and Azzouz met over a cup of coffee in 2003.  Within a couple of years they had started Coffeelink which has gone on to become one of Suffolk's most familiar names with Coffee outlets in the County and beyond.

In this episode, you will hear of Azzouz's desire to bring quality hospitality and great coffee to Suffolk and the lengths that he has gone to deliver that.

It is evident that it really matters what conditions the Coffee farmers and their families are in and you will hear how a visit to coffee farmers put Azzouz and his colleague in very grave danger.
