Coffee First, Then the World: One Woman's Record-Breaking Pedal Around the Planet

Product Information

Encounters on the road, both human and animal, always get a mention, albeit briefly. They are frank, entertaining and invariably analysed by Jenny as battles with her own conscience (for riding away). She also freely admits making mistakes out on the road. All of this really makes you warm to her character; exceptionally tough on so many levels but a hundred per cent compassionate and human inside.

People aren’t shy with experimenting as well as they end up adding all sorts of things into the drink. Coffee came to India well before the East India company, through an India Sufi saint named "Baba Budan". [77] The first record of coffee growing in India is following the introduction of coffee beans from Yemen by Baba Budan to the hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka, in 1670. [78] Since then coffee plantations have become established in the region, extending south to Kodagu. [77] Robertson, Carol (2010). The Little Book of Coffee Law. American Bar Association. pp.77–79.

By the 1860s, Batangas was exporting coffee to America through San Francisco. When the Suez Canal was opened, a new market started in Europe as well. Seeing the success of the Batangeños, Cavite followed suit by growing the first coffee seedlings in 1876 in Amadeo. In spite of this, Lipa still reigned as the center for coffee production in the Philippines and Batangas barako was commanding five times the price of other Asian coffee beans. In 1880, the Philippines was the fourth largest exporter of coffee beans, and when the coffee rust hit Brazil, Africa, and Java, it became the only source of coffee beans worldwide.
