Caffeology. The history of coffee: from the fetus to the inspirational cup of the County Coffee

We drink coffee and do not think about what kind of train, woven from the history of the earth and growing up of mankind, stretches from a small cup with a fragrant drink. Do you know how old is the coffee tree? 27 million! It turns out that it needs multi -tiered forests that protect it from both thirst and high humidity. And DNA of coffee and humans are almost equal in chromosomes: 44 and 46, respectively. Feel what we lose, cutting down the forests? The caffeology, whose academy was created by Gloria Montenegro, the author of this book, is a fantastic science. It combines many industries, such as climatology, soil science, geography, sociology, political science, philosophy, psychology. And in this book, a real coffee atlas, you will find information about the tree and man, countries and trade, communities and coffee houses. But the main charm of the book is that the author resolutely put an equal sign between the tasting of good wine and good coffee: this drink deserves to be tasted by all the rules
