About Me

Hi, I’m Burke Campbell — a writer and researcher exploring the hidden history of coffee. My work dives into how a centuries-old act of biological piracy shaped the drink we love today, and why Yemen’s forgotten coffee varieties may hold the key to coffee’s future.

What I’m Working On

Right now, I’m writing a book that uncovers the true story of coffee’s journey from Yemen to the world. It blends history, science, and storytelling — a mix of archival investigation, genetics, and farmer voices — to show why Yemen’s coffee isn’t just history, but a living blueprint for how coffee might survive climate change.
