Description
The 1989 Espresso Coffee Bean Backstory
In 1989 history turned a page with a force felt across continents. The Berlin Wall, a symbol of separation for a generation, finally opened. Families were reunited. Nations breathed freely. Europe began to heal. The world witnessed the triumph of courage, unity, and the unshakeable human desire for freedom.
If that were not enough, in that same year another quiet revolution began in a laboratory at CERN. A Briton named Tim Berners Lee conceived the foundations of the modern web. He did not simply write a new kind of code. He created a new kind of world, a world of connection, communication, and possibility.
