Reviews
"Jeff Koehler dives deep and ranges widely as he pursues an understanding of the origins of coffee, how it spread around the world from the Horn of Africa, and what lies ahead in an era of climate change and coffee rust. It reads like an engaging multimystery detective novel . . . [We] gain a rich appreciation of the bean that so many depend on every day." - Wall Street Journal "A deep dive into the fascinating history of coffee that meanders from the once-isolated, deep forests of Ethiopia's Kafa region to the warm embrace of your local bodega. Coffee'' path to world domination is anything but straightforward and this story might be unwieldy in the hands of a lesser talent, but Koehler is more than up to the task. A must-read for coffee enthusiasts." - Smithsonian, "The Ten Best Books About Food of 2017" "A wide-ranging natural history [that] illuminates the pleasures and the plight of wild coffee." - Science "Blearily sipping a morning espresso? Jeff Koehler's scientific and anthropological chronicle will lend context to your cup." - Nature, "Five of the Week's Best Science Picks" "Fascinating . . . Readers will walk away with a better understanding of how a local crop transformed to an essential global commodity." - Real Simple, "The Best New Books to Read This Month" "There's a lot more that's interesting about coffee than simply its caffeine kick . . . Jeff Koehler details the history of the beloved beverage and the impact that it has had on people all around the world. You'll see why this matters as he discusses the future of coffee and the threats we should be fighting." - Bustle, "The 13 Best New Nonfiction Books of November 2017" "An informative, lively history . . . [by] a consistently agile writer . . . Both an informative work for general readers and a page-turning seminar for would-be writers of narrative nonfiction." - Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews "Koehler nicely captures the natural beauty and mystery of the birthplace of Arabica coffee . . . A wonderfully informative book about a bean on which many people rely." - Publishers Weekly "Tracing the origin of Coffea arabica is anything but straightforward, but Koehler confidently leads readers along that winding path, taking relevant detours to reveal the bean's rich history, dedicated stewards, rise to fame, and precarious future . . . Koehler closes his flavorful history on a hopeful note, ultimately transforming this seemingly pedestrian bean into something much more magical." - Booklist "Well-researched . . . a mix of evocative descriptions and a scholar's eye for detail." - Library Journal, "There's a lot more that's interesting about coffee than simply its caffeine kick . . .

It is also about the history of colonial and post-colonial India . . . As for the rest, it is a book teeming with characters and interest. Koehler, described as 'writer, photographer, traveller and cook,' has the polymath's curiosity for everything, as well as the writer's ability to listen to and retell a good story . . . A richly digressive book." - The Guardian on DARJEELING "This exhaustively researched and eminently readable book will delight foodies, history buffs and armchair travelers alike." - The Seattle Times on DARJEELING "There is no leaf unturned in Barcelona-based food journalist Koehler's exposition on the growing of Darjeeling tea." - Kirkus Reviews on DARJEELING "The author's friendly writing style and obvious passion for the subject makes the book an entertaining read." - Library Journal on DARJEELING "When he writes about the tea itself . . . how the pickers skillfully pluck the leaves and toss them into a basket, how the tea smells as it's being dried, the daily taste tests at each estate--his prose is both sensory and balletic." - Chicago Tribune on DARJEELING, "Koehler's re-creation of this lost realm--the Eden of the misnamed CoffeaAbrabica-- is enchanting and tragic. His depiction of its disappearance is almost Tolkienesque . . . Koehler weaves an absorbing narrative of politics, ecology and economics." - The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice "Jeff Koehler dives deep and ranges widely as he pursues an understanding of the origins of coffee, how it spread around the world from the Horn of Africa, and what lies ahead in an era of climate change and coffee rust.

Synopsis
"Enchanting . . . An absorbing narrative of politics, ecology, and economics."-- New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice) "A must-read for coffee enthusiasts."-- Smithsonian (Best of the Year) "Reads like an engaging multimystery detective novel."-- Wall Street Journal "Fascinating . . . How a local crop transformed into a global commodity."-- Real Simple (Best of the Month) Coffee is one of the largest and most valuable commodities in the world. This is the story of its origins, its history, and the threat to its future, by the IACP Award-winning author of Darjeeling . Located between the Great Rift Valley and the Nile, the cloud forests in southwestern Ethiopia are the original home of Arabica, the most prevalent and superior of the two main species of coffee being cultivated today. Virtually unknown to European explorers, the Kafa region was essentially off-limits to foreigners well into the twentieth century, which allowed the world's original coffee culture to develop in virtual isolation in the forests where the Kafa people continue to forage for wild coffee berries. Deftly blending in the long, fascinating history of our favorite drink, award-winning author Jeff Koehler takes readers from these forest beginnings along the spectacular journey of its spread around the globe. With caf s on virtually every corner of every town in the world, coffee has never been so popular--nor tasted so good. Yet diseases and climate change are battering production in Latin America, where 85 percent of Arabica grows. As the industry tries to safeguard the species' future, breeders are returning to the original coffee forests, which are under threat and swiftly shrinking. "The forests around Kafa are not important just because they are the origin of a drink that means so much to so many," writes Koehler. "They are important because deep in their shady understory lies a key to saving the faltering coffee industry. They hold not just the past but also the future of coffee.", Enchanting . . .
