Book Description
Author Joe Urbach, is a lover of Coffee! He is tired of his favorite morning eye-opener always being considered a "bad habit!" As Joe points out, he has been told, "Coffee will stunt your growth." for as long as he can remember. Well it is time he called BS on that old myth. As the creator/publisher of GardeningAustin.com and the wildly popular Phytonutrient Blog, Joe knows that coffee is an incredibly healthy and nutritious elixir! He was 'driven' to write this book just to 'set the record straight!' This book covers the history of the discovery of coffee up through its arrival in the 21st Century. He talks about how coffee grew in popularity, how it spread to be enjoyed the world over, how coffee went to war and how it can bring you many, many health benefits with every sip you take. "Let us raise our demitasse cups, our favorite old mugs, and our commuter cups to toast the thieves and smugglers to whom we truly owe our gratitude. These unsung and unsavory heroes set forth the proliferation of coffee throughout the world leading to the variety of coffees we cherish today. Let us thank those who, through the centuries toiled, battled, tinkered and seduced, all for that delectable cup of coffee! And for all of those who brought us to this wonderful place in coffee history, or for all of us who just enjoy our morning cup of java, this book is for you!"
