Do you ever wonder about the long journey your daily cup of coffee originated from before it reaches your favorite coffee mug? Before it’s roasted in processing plants, and then sent to your favorite coffee shop or store, it makes a very long journey. It might be from the mountains of South American countries like Peru or Brazil, or from the deep forests of Africa. Beginning as red arabica berries from coffee plants, they are hand picked and gathered, and then shipped by freight carriers across the seas to end up in processing plants across the USA, and then finally end up being ordered and shipped by truck to your favorite neighborhood coffee shop or store. I created this new illustration to capture the long journey and finally end up as pour-over or packaged coffee. Perhaps this barista ponders the long and arduous journey his coffee had to make and imagines the mountains and jungles the beans had to have come from across the Atlantic ocean as he pours over your cup to serve you.
