The French Coffee Romance
Coffee has had a rather dramatic existence. Maybe not necessarily as a plant, it seems
rather dramatic to say a plant is dramatic in the first place. However, coffee as a commodity has had a very
dramatic existence. All throughout
history, coffee has been causing strife and happiness. Unfortunately it has been mostly drinkers
that get the happiness and mostly the farmers and workers that get the
strife.
There is one man in particular that had a rather dramatic
life because of coffee. His was Captain Gabriel de Clieu. Wikipedia.org has a small smattering of
information about de Clieu but very little insight to his involvement. If you will, take a moment to see just how one
man let coffee take him half way around the world.
