Coffee Floats Tea Sinks by Ian Bersten is a lavishly illustrated hardcover that dives into the fascinating social history of two of the world’s favorite beverages. Antique photographs, vintage ads, and crisp diagrams make every page a collectible treat for food-and-drink enthusiasts.

Bersten’s narrative traces how coffee and tea shaped commerce, politics, and daily life from colonial ports to modern cafés. His engaging, true-story approach keeps the 284-page journey lively for curious young adults and seasoned history buffs alike.
