A History of the World in 2 Glasses

Coffee and tea turn out to be much more than just ways to quench thirst. They also represent two eras that span the course of civilization-from the adoption of agriculture, to the birth of cities, to the advent of globalization. Coffee and tea tell the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century. Each drink is in fact a kind of technology, advancing culture and catalyzing the intricate interplay of different societies. Join baristas Nick and Brandon for an elaborate coffee and tea tasting; you may never look at your favorite drink in quite the same way again.
