Beschreibung
Did you know that the first coffee drinkers were probably prehistoric people? That Sufi monks used the stimulating effects of coffee during demanding religious ceremonies?
That when coffee arrived in Europe, there were attempts to ban it, and the Pope even called it the 'bitter invention of the devil'? And that in America, the popularity of coffee paradoxically began with tea?
Welcome to the fascinating world of coffee – a beverage without which many of us today cannot get out of bed. A cup of black brew represents a natural start to our day. Yet this beloved drink had to overcome an incredible journey across continents and history before it reached our breakfast table. Illustrator Dávid Soboň has mapped this fascinating and intricate journey and created a picture book that is the perfect (and perhaps even humorous) companion to a cup of coffee. Because with the knowledge of the coffee story, every sip is even fuller and more delicious.
