FOR THE LOVE OF COFFEE is quintessentially a typology of coffees and cafés in celebration of London’s coffee culture and my personal journey with it.
Growing up, I’ve always had a fascination with coffee. Being partially Vietnamese, I guess you can say it runs in my family. It was everywhere in our household; from multplie bags of coffee in our hot drinks cupboard to coffee flavoured treats, nothing truly beat having a ca phe da (Vietnamese ice coffee) on a hot summer’s day made by my dad in a tall cold glass. Yet despite curiously watching my parents make coffee so theatrically with the Vietnamese phin, it was only in recent years that I began perfecting my brewing technique and had begun exploring and learning from cafés around London. It has become part of my everyday life to say the least, and has grounded me to be more in tune with the mundane of the everyday. Born and raised in London, it was becoming the home I was growing bored of and thus I truly owe it to the baristas and friends I met along the way for making London colourful once more This coffee journey has grounded me deeper into my Asian heritage also, one I had felt very disconnected to due to growing up on the other side of the world.Stengthening the bond with my parents over this shared interest, I have found myself now replicating the way my parents used to make coffee for me as a child for them; Vietnamese style. This book pays homage to those who have aided my coffee journey and to the growth for a passion over the past few years. I hope you too as the reader finds joy in viewing my journey through these photos, and in hope, begin your own journey down a passion you have.
