Flamingo Park Loves Coffee

We are coffee lovers and sample different flavors from around the world. This book has filled a gap in the history of coffee. The text was inspired and the photos are truly amazing.

But the photographs of the people who grow, pick, and process coffee around the world are what make this book distinctive. "Their faces will always be reflected on the dark surface of every cup of coffee we drink." Indeed.
