You’ll meet three leaders working to bring coffee’s troubled history to light through their businesses, and in this issue’s long-form essay, you’ll ponder along with us on the important subject of decolonizing the history of coffee, for a better future.

We go further by suggesting a completely new origin story for coffee, and arguing that we should do away with the overly simplistic three-wave model when it comes to making sense of where we stand in coffee’s timeline.
Our photo essay profiles and asks what we can learn from five of London’s more seasoned baristas, who work in an industry dominated by the young.
