Making Better Coffee
"This book takes a behind-the-scenes look at the world of Third Wave coffee to uncover what makes a great coffee. Traders stress the material conditions of terroir and botany, but just as important are the social, moral, and political values that farmers, roasters, and consumers attach to the beans. Third Wave roasters earnestly pursue a craft, searching for new flavors, while smallholding Maya farmers in Guatemala see coffee as part of a cycle of agricultural regeneration, as well as a source of extra income. This book connects the quest for quality among Third Wave tastemakers in the United States to the lives and internet-fueled aspirations of Maya producers, showing how profits are made by artfully combining coffee's material and symbolic qualities"--
Terres de café
Quand le caféier est-il sorti de son pays natal, l'Éthiopie ? Jusque vers 1550, le café qui se consommait en Arabie heureuse - au Yémen et dans le Hedjaz voisin - provenait d'Éthiopie et de nulle part ailleurs. Ce n'était pas encore un produit très répandu. Cueilli dans les montagnes d'Abyssinie sur des arbres sauvages, le café était acheminé vers le port de Zayla. Après une courte traversée, les bateaux le débarquaient dans les ports yéménites de l'autre côté de la mer Rouge. À la suite des soufis, qui découvrent la boisson, le monde entier se prend d'engouement pour le café et en quatre ou cinq siècles le caféier conquiert plus de cinquante pays. Ce livre retrace l'aventure du caféier et des " maisons de café ", lieux où la vie sociale trouve un épanouissement nouveau. Il décrit aussi la vie quotidienne de planteurs d'aujourd'hui, soumis à la dure loi de la mondialisation des échanges.
