Reviews
'Terroir is a beautiful book put together by the Barista Hustle team about growing coffee: its botany, agronomy, the inputs and limits of growth, coffee-tree diseases, and the effects of climate change on coffee production. The book includes gorgeous photography and interviews with experts such as Tim Wendelboe, Hanna Neuschwander, Willem Boot, Graciano Cruz, and Anabella Meneses. Terroir offers an incredible education about the conditions that contribute to the success — and failure — of coffee production.'
- Scott Rao (Author of The Professional Barista's Handbook)
'Reading Terroir has given me an even greater respect for the diversity and complexity of coffee and the professionals who tirelessly work on producing better coffee. Jem Challender has written the essential seed to harvest text for all coffee professionals.'
'Our love for coffee has made the plant one of the most successful in spreading from its Ethiopian and Sudanese origins across the globe. Terroir shines a light on all aspects of coffee cultivation and leaves the reader with a deeper appreciation for the coffee they're drinking.'
- Andrew Tolley, (SCA Board Member, founder of Taylor St Baristas, and lead trainer at the Simonelli Knowledge Hub)
'Although the concept of terroir is highly advanced in the wine industry, little is known about it in the coffee sector... This book is the first to thoroughly discuss the coffee plant in connection with the main building blocks of terroir.'
