Yet we recognise the beverage as a colonial import\, even in households where grandmothers brewed the beverage in brass filters. Coffee’s trade and cultivation in England’s colonies corresponds in stages with the bu ilding of its empire\, facilitating novel interactions between people\, pl ants and microbes\, radically reshaping ethnobotanical and cultural bounda ries.\n\nJoin us for a discussion around the fascinating story of coffee\, paired with a specially curated tasting menu of some of the finest Coffea canephora around.\n\nThis programme is in conjunction with MAP’s ongoin g exhibition Paper Gardens: Art\, Botany and Empire.
