Product Description
Can a cup of coffee reveal the face of God? Can it turn into the holy grail of present day-day knights errant who brave hardship and peril in a relentless quest for perfection? Can it alter the globe? These questions are not rhetorical. When extremely prized coffee beans sell at auction for $50, $a hundred, or $150 a pound wholesale (and probably twice that at retail), something can occur. In God in a Cup, journalist and late-blooming adventurer Michaele Weissman treks into an exotic and paradoxical realm of specialty coffee where the profitable traveler should be part passionate coffee connoisseur, portion ambitious entrepreneur, component activist, and portion Indiana Jones. Her guides on the journey are the nation's most heralded coffee company hotshots—Counter Culture's Peter Giuliano, Intelligentsia's Geoff Watts, and Stump-town's Duane Sorenson. With their obsessive standards and fiercely aggressive baristas, these roasters are generating a new culture of coffee connoisseurship in America—a culture in which $ten lattes are the two a purist's pleasure and a way to enhance the lives of third-globe farmers. If you enjoy a good cup of coffee—or a wonderful adventure story—you'll adore this unprecedented look up near at the men and women and passions behind today's ideal beans.
