Vava Angwenyi on COFFEEMILKBLOOD [122]

In her new book, COFFEEMILKBOOK, Vava Angwenyi tells the stories of coffee producers. Stories about coffee are often told by importers, roasters, and consumers—the narrative is about "the foreigner looking in." Vava is going to change that. 

COFFEEMILKBLOOD uses Vava's own personal history and the stories of others living in coffee-producing countries. Brilliantly told alongside stunning photographs, Vava challenges you not just to question the stories you hear, but question who gets to tell them.
