Beans of Destiny is the untold story of how a humble mountain crop became Colombia’s national soul and a global obsession.
From Jesuit missionaries planting the first seeds in the 18th century to Juan Valdez smiling from Times Square billboards, coffee has shaped Colombia’s history in ways few outside the Andes realize. It built towns, financed railroads, fueled wars, and became Colombia’s greatest ambassador to the world. Through crisis and renewal, coffee has remained both mirror and motor of the nation’s destiny.
Drawing on history, culture, and human stories, Beans of Destiny takes readers on a journey from remote fincas to bustling European cafés, from civil wars to UNESCO heritage sites, from the struggles of campesino farmers to the rise of third-wave baristas.
This is more than a history of coffee. It is a story of perseverance, identity, and how a bean from the Colombian mountains changed the way the world wakes up each morning.
Perfect for readers of Mark Kurlansky’s Salt: A World History and lovers of coffee culture alike, Beans of Destiny blends narrative history with cultural insight to reveal the drink you thought you knew — and the country that made it iconic.
