How Coffee Was Introduced to the U.S.

Across the Ocean in our sister land Europe, Coffee was all the rage in the 1600's. The little coffee bean was causing an uproar over it's sudden popularity. By the 1700's, Coffee shops made their way , from Turkey to France, Germany, Italy, and England. As you may fully be aware, the Revolutionary War was also in that era.

When more and more wealthy families, seeking to enlarge the family title, brought over their teas, they also brought along their coffee beans, even though it was not used as much. It hadn't become as popular as it was over in Europe .

But when King George raised the taxes on tea, there was a great uproar as the colonists protested by having the "Boston Tea Party". Of course the King then responded by closing the harbor and not allowing trade to flow through. As more and more colonists refused to drink the English tea, more and more of them found coffee a satisfying a substitute.
