See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia

The history of coffee… a simple timeline of events? I think not! No, the journey of coffee, my friends is so much more. It’s a swashbuckling adventure spanning a thousand years, filled with death-defying escapes, international intrigue and - oh yes! - torrid romance. From distant, tropical islands to the power centers of international trade, it has been banned, berated, hailed and championed, generating as much fear as enjoyment. This is not just a drink, this is magic, infusing itself into our psyche, stirring conflict and controversy. Read on, friends, and enjoy the bold, robust voyage that is coffee.
