From a little red berry to a worldwide tradition
Every cup of coffee has a story behind it. Long before coffee became part of our morning routines, it traveled across mountains and seas, through bustling markets, royal courts, neighborhood coffeehouses, and the workshops of inventors.
Along the way, coffee connected cultures, inspired conversation, shaped commerce, and changed how people gathered and lived.
In this twelve-chapter series, we follow that remarkable journey through the people, places, discoveries, and traditions that made coffee what it is today.
