and coffee use with clear, informative text and beautiful
photographs throughout. The book begins with a fascinating

Coffee trader and historian Antony Wild delivers a rollicking
history of the most valuable legally traded commodity in the world
after oil an industry that employs 100 million people throughout
the world. From obscure beginnings in east Africa in the fifteenth
century as a stimulant in religious devotion, coffee became an
imperial commodity, produced by poor tropical countries and
consumed by rich temperate ones. Through the centuries, the
influence of coffee on the rise of capitalism and its institutions
has been enormous. Revolutions were once hatched in coffeehouses,
commercial alliances were forged, secret societies were formed, and
politics and art were endlessly debated. Today, while coffee chains
spread like wildfire, coffee-producing countries are in crisis:
with prices at a historic low, they are plagued by unprecedented
unemployment, abandoned farms, enforced migration, and massive
social disruption. Bridging the gap between coffee s dismal
colonial past and its perilous corporate present, Coffee reveals
the shocking exploitation that has always lurked at the heart of
the industry."

The Book of Tea describes all aspects of the Japanese tea ceremony and explains how its rituals blend seamlessly with traditional Japanese life.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition has an afterword by Anna Sherman and delightful illustrations by Sayuri Romei.
This short book, written in English by a Japanese scholar and artist, was first published in 1906 at a time when Japan was opening up to Western culture. In response to that, Okakura Kakuzo set out to explain the beauty and simplicity of Japanese daily life which was greatly inspired by teaism. He describes in detail the different aspects of the tea ceremony, how it was founded, the role of the tea masters, the architecture of the tea-room and the stages of making and serving the tea. He then goes on to explain the connection between Taoism and Zennism with tea and he also writes chapters on art appreciation and the art of flower arranging.
Filled with recipes that have stood the test of time as well as

these pages learn about the infamous royals and their connection to
the history of tea; why jam pennies were Queen Elizabeth II's
favourite tea time treat and how mead cake came to be served during
Henry VIII's reign. Discover what cake William and Catherine
selected for their wedding and hear why orange-scented scones
became a royal tradition at Kensington Palace. Tea Fit for a Queen
presents a taste of palace etiquette to take home.
This richly illustrated volume is the first complete atlas of
coffee production in Ethiopia, birth-place of coffee drinking and
the main home of wild arabica coffee (Coffea arabica). Around 15
million Ethiopians are coffee farmers, and Ethiopia is Africa's
largest coffee producer and one of the most important
coffee-growing regions of the world, renowned for its diversity of
flavour profiles, including those of the celebrated coffees of
Harar, Limu, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. The aim of the Coffee Atlas
of Ethiopia is to inform the reader about the coffee landscape of
Ethiopia. It shows where coffee is grown, where the natural coffee
forests are located, and where coffee could be grown. The atlas
maps are accompanied by information on coffee farming, environment
and climate, and a description of the main coffee areas. Also
included in the atlas are key coffee origins, coffee towns and
coffee delivery centres, as well as other useful items. The atlas
can be used to assess the potential and vulnerability for coffee
farming in Ethiopia, as well as provide a logistics resource for
the coffee sector and those otherwise working with, or interested
in, coffee. It is also an essential reference for resource
managers.
