Coffee Tourism: Around the World in 80 Roasts

Around the World in 80 Roasts

Our morning cup always comes with a story. From coffee farms to local roasters, the flavors of coffee are products of its incredible journey. However, how often do we think about coffee's origins when grabbing a latte? Similar to the farm-to-table movement, some coffee drinkers want to go directly to the source. Today's global network of farmers, roasters, and microclimates has led to a boom in what is known as coffee tourism. Travelers can now interact with coffee personally through visits to coffee plantations, tastings, and meeting small-scale farmers. By doing so, enthusiasts gain greater insight into what makes a cappuccino, Turkish coffee, or doppio espresso uniquely delicious.
