People generally do not gather over a pomegranate, but certainly we will sit down in a coffee house at the slightest provocation over a coffee, and so I think that it's that social element of coffee that makes it unique among all of the things with which it traveled.
Ever wondered how your morning coffee became a global phenomenon? In this episode, Carrie Tippen sits down with Jeanette M. Fregulia to unravel the captivating history of coffee. From its origins in Ethiopia and Yemen to its spread across the Mediterranean and into Western Europe and the Americas, coffee has a story as rich as its flavor.
Fregulia's book, 'A Rich and Tantalizing Brew: A History of How Coffee Connected the World', offers a deep dive into the social and cultural transformations brought about by this beloved beverage. You'll hear about coffee's evolution from a medicinal drink to a staple in religious rituals, and finally, to a social fixture in coffeehouses. This episode also sheds light on the lesser-known Islamic histories that shaped coffee culture, challenging the Eurocentric narrative.
Fregulia discusses the importance of fair trade, sustainability, and the labor behind coffee cultivation, making this not just a historical journey but a contemporary conversation. Perfect for history buffs, coffee enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how a simple bean could connect the world.
