The book is written in English by author Peter Cornish in collaboration with photographer Lee Starnes, and is one of the community projects of Lacàph. Lacàph's description of the book is as follows:
Coffee is deeply rooted in the culture of Việt Nam, an intrinsic part of the country’s history and society for over a hundred years. But have you ever wondered how Việt Nam became a global coffee powerhouse, the role coffee played in President Hồ Chí Minh’s rise to power, or how a small brown bean lifted thousands out of poverty and created a coffee culture unlike any other?
Đặc Đen Đắng: The Vietnamese Coffee Book answers these questions and more. It shares the story of Việt Nam and its coffee, tales of people who work in the country’s booming coffee sector, and the role coffee has played in shaping Việt Nam since the arrival of the first beans more than 160 years ago.”
Coffee isn't just a beverage; it's an entire culture, filled with countless hidden insights. A single coffee bean could undergo various processing methods, be roasted in numerous ways, and brewed using various techniques. This endless array of combinations forms such diverse possibilities that coffee becomes almost a scientific discipline, a 'culture' in itself. Take a read through this book or give it to a coffee enthusiast to delve deeper into the fascinating world of Vietnamese coffee. It will help you or them appreciate the richness of Vietnamese coffee even more.
