BREWED: The Illustrated Apothecary of Coffee A Guide to Origins, Methods, and the Rituals of the Cup (THE RITUAL LIBRARY Book 2)

Coffee began in the forests of Ethiopia and became the world's morning. Brewed is a guide to it.Nearly all coffee comes from two plants, arabica and robusta, grown in a warm belt around the equator. What ends up in your cup depends on where the bean grew, how it was roasted, and how you brew it. Brewed walks through all three, with photographs throughout.For each origin and method, you get the history, the flavor, how to brew it, and what coffee will and won't do for you. Where the science is clear it says so, and where a claim is overblown it says that too.Inside are the six ways to brew, from espresso to cold brew; nineteen origins and the places they come from; a few cups to reach for by need; and nine of the ways people gather around coffee, from the Italian bar to the Ethiopian ceremony.Made to be read at the kitchen table and kept within reach of the pot.Volume Two of The Ritual Library.
