Sponsored by Folgers, this exhibit features 40 beautiful photographs from the Birth of Coffee Project.

The Birth of Coffee is a multiplatform, media project consisting of a book, an international photographic exhibition tour and a web site. The goal of the project is to extend the individual's personal coffee experiences, providing them with an understanding of the many people, places and processes involved in bringing coffee to the table.
   
To complete this project, the author and photographer traveled a quarter of a million miles to five continents and eight countries documenting and recording the world's coffee cultures. They followed the coffee cycle from a single seed at planting, to harvest, processing, shipping and the final cup.
