CLR-E20: Coffee and Politics - Why You Should Care Where Your Coffee Comes From

Following the publication of Coffee Lovers Magazine Issue 26 (http://www.coffeeloversmag.com/jan2015) - where we feature an interview with Mokhtar Alkhanshali (Mocha Mill Coffee - http://www.mochamill.com) - we decided to explore the nature of global politics and their effect on coffee production. Mostly though, we wanted to demonstrate, through a few different examples, why you should care about where your coffee comes from and what it means to other people. It's easy to become disassociated in terms of the coffee we drink simply because on our end it's "just a drink," while on the other end it can be an entire culture's livelihood. So sit back and explore some fascinating - if serious - aspects of the world of coffee.
