I love coffee books, I donโ€™t know why. Probably because Iโ€™m a sucker for anything coffee-related. If you put coffee in front of anything, Iโ€™m probably going to want it. A coffee circular saw? Sure, I can see how that would be a useful additional to my pour-over bar. But you donโ€™t have to be that head over heels for gear to appreciate a nice coffee book, especially one that is primarily photography-based. And Beber Mi Sudorโ€”a new book from Nordic Approach and photographer Jake Green being released tomorrow, April 6thโ€”is just that.

This is the first in a series of books that will โ€œdocument [Nordic Approachโ€™s] epic journeys with speciality coffee at origin, starting with Colombia.โ€ The name, Beber Mi Sudor, literally translates to โ€œdrink my sweat,โ€ a colloquialism โ€œused by Colombian coffee workers to reflect the incredible effort and energy that goes in to producing their crops.โ€

Along with Greenโ€™s photography, the book will include โ€œinterviews with farmers, roasters, and our long-time friend Tim Wendelboe, as well as essays on Colombiaโ€™s unique environmental conditions, the intricacy of cupping, and Nordic Approachโ€™s philosophy and experience as a green coffee sourcing company.โ€

To celebrate the release, Nordic Approach is holding a book launch party this Friday at their Oslo headquarters, starting at 7:00pm. But for those unable to attend, the book will be available for purchase via the Nordic Approach website. For more information on the Beber Mi Sudor or the launch party, visit the Beber Mi Sudor Facebook event page. And pick up a copy for you old friend, Zac. You know he likes coffee things.
