Coffee (1x1)

Data di messa in onda: Set 28, 2019

Across the globe, we have come to rely on an array of products - and behind each product is a fascinating story. Babita Sharma and Finn Aberdein explore the networks, places and people behind eight products that help us to thrive. This programme considers the humble cup of coffee - a simple product that continues to evolve and find new markets. Finn travels to Seesaw Coffee in Shanghai, to see how young consumers are looking to 'speciality coffee' to allow them to experience a new kind of drink. We then track the coffee bean right back to its major source: a coffee plantation in Brazil, to learn how coffee is grown and cultivated. Finally, Babita visits Leonardo Lelli - an Italian coffee roaster who shows her how, for him, preparing coffee beans is more of an art than an industrial process.
