a publié une critique de Black Gold par Antony Wild

A thought provoking corrective to coffee mythology

4 étoiles

Wild offers a deep dive into coffee history mythology and attempts to prove most of it wrong. The repeated journey back to Saint Helena was at times incongruous, but still informative. Given this is an updated version of the original book, I was still left wishing that the later part of the book, which did a good job of dismantling Starbucks, was deeper and more comprehensive. Overall a good read though, and if you're thinking of reading The Devil's Cup, then I'd do so before reading this.
