New Book About Coffee: Connecting Worlds
Connecting Worlds is a photographic travel book retracing the route taken by coffee from the Peruvian Andes to the cup of millions of consumers. This book is destined to serve as education material for consumers to tell them about the origin of the coffee they drink, and also for producers to inform them about the final products of their work.
Photographer Olaf Hammelburg spent two years in Peru working on this extraordinary story tracing the route taken by a small lot of coffee that has been picked, washed and dried in the isolated green world of the Peruvian Andes. Transported by donkeys over suspended bridges, on rafts over a river, on a truck over high snow covered peaks all the way to the port of Lima, a transatlantic ship and then to cafes in Europe and the US. A breathtaking story told entirely by the eighty photos of magnificent places and of people with faces that have been unforgettably carved by their experiences. The book is interspersed with short articles by three of the farmers, a director of a Peruvian coffee cooperative, by Olaf Hammelburg, Ken Davids (well known for his numerous books on coffee and for his website Coffee Review) and George Howell (well known as the co-founder of Cup of Excellence).
