A Film About Coffee

The documentary is about coffee. The subject is speciality coffee. What it means for a coffee to count as that. What has to happen for it to. The film follows those questions. The road starts on farms in Honduras. Then it moves to Rwanda. After that it goes to the shops in the cities. Tokyo, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and New York. Growers speak. Baristas speak. Processing methods are explained. Brewing preferences are explained. Old traditions and new methods stand side by side. The film puts the field and the cup inside the same story. The sixty seven minute documentary carries the signature of Brandon Loper, an American production finished in 2014.
