Description

Coffeeland: A 400-year history of coffee's transformation into an everyday necessity. From its origins in the volcanic highlands of El Salvador to its global presence, this book reveals the surprising story behind the world's most popular drink.

The story follows the rise of one of the world's great coffee dynasties, founded by James Hill in 19th-century Manchester, and explores how innovations from the industrial revolution were adapted for plantation agriculture. The book takes you on a journey through the production process, from plantations to supermarkets, kitchens, and work places, highlighting the unexpected consequences of coffee's rise.

Discover how coffee reshaped large areas of the tropics, transformed our understanding of energy, and ultimately made us dependent on a drug served in a cup. Coffeeland is an eye-opening exploration of the global impact of this beloved beverage.
