- Summary:
- Coffee is more than the beverage of choice for office-bound commuters and coffeehouse hipsters -- it has been used for centuries by mystics of many cultures to heighten the senses, sharpen mental acuity, and promote creative and intuitive thought. This book presents a coffee divining method that is based on the historical use of coffee as an insight tool but is updated to make it more relevant to contemporary life. More than just a dry history of using coffee as a catalyst for intuition, this book is filled with fascinating coffee lore, recipes for delicious magic coffee potions, and an analysis of coffee's impact on cultures around the world.
