INVISIBLE GROUNDS

Stories Brewed on Hidden Paths

By Marta Campos-Mace

“Step beyond the surface into a world shaped by coffee–where destinies intertwine, economies rise and fall, and stories unfold.”

Narrative Intent

Invisible Grounds unveils the forces that shape individuals, societies, and cultures. With literary depth and analytical precision, Marta Campos-Mace blends personal memory with the accounts of those who cultivate, trade, and transform coffee–farmers, visionaries, and unseen figures whose influence lingers beyond recognition.

Weaving a narrative essay with cultural analysis, Invisible Grounds explores the hidden currents behind labor, sustainability, gender equity, migration, and the economic structures that define the industry.

A work that challenges perspectives.
An exploration that disrupts assumptions.
This book redefines coffee as an economic force and a cultural statement.

“Some stories inform. Others immerse. This one transforms.”

 Book Description

Structured as an intellectual conversation with the reader, each story carries layers of meaning that transcend anecdote.
