Planting The Seeds
Planting The Seeds
Planting The Seeds is the first book in the 1888 A Coffee Novel series by María Amalia Robbin.
This luxury hardcover book was designed as a coffee table piece. The cover is black, foil stamped in gold, and it creates a timeless, elegant look.
Every detail was chosen with care. For example, the paper quality, layout, images, and design all work together. As a result, the book feels like a work of art.
A Coffee Table Experience
The book uses “parts” instead of traditional chapters. This choice creates a more artistic reading flow. In addition, some sections include decorative “A” patterns in honor of Amalia Madriñan Vásquez. Many of these designs appear in Tiffany blue.
The book is written in both English and Spanish. Moreover, each page includes a golden seal at the top right corner.
Because of these details, the book is not just meant to be read. Instead, it is meant to be displayed. It fits beautifully in a library, kitchen, living room, or office entryway.
The Story Behind the Book
The back cover explains the origins of coffee growing in Colombia, Guatemala, and the Caribbean. It also introduces basic coffee preparation methods. During her research, the author discovered something important. Many people do not really understand coffee. For example, most people do not know the difference between Arabica and Robusta. In addition, many are unsure why some coffee tastes smooth while others taste bitter.
Therefore, this book teaches the basics of coffee in a simple way. It explains brewing methods and easy techniques for making better coffee at home. As a result, readers do not need expensive equipment. The book also includes traditional bakery recipes from the author’s family. These recipes pair well with coffee and are easy to follow.
A Beginning to a Series
Planting The Seeds introduces the foundation of the full series. It blends coffee education, family history, and storytelling.
In addition, each upcoming book continues this journey. As a result, readers can follow the story as it develops over time.
Ultimately, this book invites readers to enjoy coffee, history, and storytelling together.
