Description:
Winner of the Orwell Prize 2024- the exhilarating story of the greatest border breach in Cold War history



A gripping reconstruction of the daring escape to freedom of hundreds of East Germans in the summer of 1989 and how it led to the fall of the Berlin Wall.




In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists did the unthinkable- they entered the forbidden militarised zone of the Iron Curtain - and held a picnic. On wisps of rumour, thousands of East German 'holiday-makers' had made their way to the border, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The stage was set for the greatest border breach in Cold War history. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Soviet Union - the so-called end of history - all would flow from what happened next. Drawing on dozens of original interviews with those involved, Matthew Longo reconstructs this world-shaping event and its tumultuous aftermath.

Great tasting matcha
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Barista, Size: 1.06 oz
Crafti Classic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder is hands down one of the best matcha powders I’ve tried. The flavor is robust without being overpowering, with a subtle hint of citrus and a smooth finish. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality matcha

Why do people hate on Matcha? This was insanely good!
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Barista, Size: 2.65 oz
So I'll start by saying I am new to matcha. I decided to try it after hearing about it's health/nutritional benefits but I was wary because so many people I know who have tried matcha did not like it, saying it was like drinking grass. My experience was the opposite of that and WONDERFUL! This matcha was incredibly tasty and blended really well. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to make this every day. Sidenote: because I had no idea how to prepare it, I watched a video on youtube to make sure I was doing it right and I am so glad I did. If you're wondering it's Michelle Kanemitsu's channel . I will definitely buy this again!

Smooth, fresh and delicious
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha, Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
I’ve tried a few matcha powders before, and this one is honestly one of my favorites. The flavor is smooth, fresh, and not too bitter. It mixes really well and gives that pretty vibrant green color. I’ve been making iced matcha lattes with it almost every day. Great quality for the price and definitely worth trying if you love matcha.

Tasty good quality matcha
Flavor Name: All Purpose Culinary Grade Matcha
Great tasting matcha! I usually order matcha from the famous us coffee shop but this one tastes even better and is wayy cheaper (vs paying per cup). I can make frozen matcha drinks or have it with a sweetener, ice and milk (chef's kiss). I also feel good knowing that it has great health benefits and I like the fact that it doesn't come sweetened so I can add berries or a sweetener. It's not too bitter like some other matchas are and it gives that earthy taste you look for in matcha. Very delicious 10/10.
