The history of coffee is much more than the tale of one
nonessential good-it is a lens through which to consider various
strands of world history, from food and foodways to religion and
economics and sociocultural history. A Rich and Tantalizing Brew
traces the history of the coffee bean, beginning with its
cultivation and brewing as a private pleasure in the highlands of
Ethiopia and Yemen before its emergence as a common comfort, first
in the Muslim world, then across the Mediterranean to Italy, other
parts of Europe, and beyond to India and the Americas. At each of
these stops the brew gathered ardent aficionados and vocal critics,
all the while reshaping the social landscape. Taking its
conversational tone from the chats often held over a steaming cup,
A Rich and Tantalizing Brew offers a critical and entertaining look
at how this bitter beverage, with a little help from the tastes
that traveled with it-chocolate, tea, and sugar-has connected
people to each other both within and outside of their typical
circles, inspiring a new context for sharing news, conducting
business affairs, and even plotting revolution.
