Photographer Olaf Hammelburg spent two years in Peru following coffee on its journey from farms high in the Andes to the American consumer's cup. This book of photography dramatically illustrates the links in the “seed to cup” chain as the beans are picked by families, washed by hand in plastic buckets, dried on backyard patios, transported by donkey, shipped in vessels as long as city blocks, roasted by craftsman and skillfully served by the barista. Olaf’s stunning images bring the both the people and coffee of Peru to life in a way that makes the reader truly understand what goes into their morning cup. A must-have for anyone who appreciates great coffee.
