Bloom by Paw Gissel

The hardcover binding feels sturdy enough to live on my coffee table, and the way the travel photography flows from landscapes to the daily grind of coffee work gives it a real sense of place. I keep flipping back to the portraits of the workers, they're so full of character.

The page layout is beautifully done, and I keep coming back to the images of the daily work around the coffee farms. It’s the kind of book that makes you wish you were there, and the paper quality really does justice to the photos.

The way the photos follow the people and daily rhythm around coffee, not just the beans, feels so genuine. It’s the kind of book I’ll keep coming back to, and the print quality really does justice to years of travel. I’m genuinely glad I picked this up.
