Congratulations (Tapachula, Chiapas Mexico) December 21, 2000 - 5.0/5 stars
I live in Mexico, and grow coffee, and I have to say that this is an
excellent book about the general history of coffee, it describes in an
quite accurate manner the reality of coffee, its growers, exporters,
brokers, roasters and consumers, and like the author says: The best coffee
is the one you like!
