2) Slavery, Suffering and Affordable Luxury

Why do we get upset when we’re charged €36 for an ordinary cappuccino?



The answer flies us to the Caribbean where white Europeans make black Africans suffer.



In this second episode of A History of Coffee, we uncover how colonialism squeezes the price of coffee, and how that changes European culture forever.



A History of Coffee is a collaboration between James Harper of the Filter Stories - Coffee Documentaries podcast and Jonathan Morris, Professor of History and author of ‘Coffee: A Global History’.



Stay tuned for the upcoming Instagram live session where we unpack how the British produced coffee in Sri Lanka, and why so many Indians die.
