This column will follow the history of coffee. Let's take a look at the time when coffee was transferred from Europe to the United States.

The famous "Boston Tea Party incident" involves the background of the spread of coffee to the United States.

When coffee is transported to the United States

Coffee is thought to have spread to America (the North American continent) in the mid-17th century from 1640 to 1670. The coffee brought by the Dutch is not what people originally called a luxury drink. In the early days of the United States, "tea" had infiltrated the national beverage.

Boston tea ceremony and black tea are unsalable.

Coffee, which is regarded as a luxury, became an international trading place for coffee beans in New York in the 1880s, and even the nearby Boston Cafe opened.

At the same time, as a result of the Boston Tea incident in 1773, American citizens lost interest in tea.

Supply war and tea to independence

At that time the independence movement in the United States was intensifying. Among them, its influence lasted from 1812 to 1814, the amount of tea entering the United States decreased sharply, and the public had the sight of a coffee.

After the independence of the United States, coffee poured into the Martini Islands, Brazil and Haiti, and the price fell. The fact that coffee is cheaper than black tea also had an impact, and coffee began to spread.

Coffee consumption at that time

Before independence, the United States consumed only a few dozen grams of coffee a year, while in the 1830s it consumed more than 2 kilograms a year. However, because it is not very low, so you can get drunk every day, it seems that the taste element as a "luxury" is powerful.

Effect of poor quality of coffee beans

At that time, in the United States, the means and packaging of transporting coffee beans had not yet been developed. Degraded into beans, such as "cow blood" is used as a colorant, known as onions, cinnamon, and cocoa together to improve flavor.

In the nineteenth century, I began to drink coffee with milk and sugar.

Railways and ships are gradually developing, and coffee beans are now transported fresh. With the reduction of various costs, the price of coffee is gradually falling, and ordinary people can enjoy it easily.

And since the law was repealed in 1920, coffee has been replaced, and demand has further increased.

From tea to coffee! American national beverages

In the colonial United States, tea has begun to infiltrate due to the influence of other British ruling countries. However, with the progress of independence, citizens gradually enjoy coffee, and the coffee culture used so far has been formed.

Take the United States as an example, we can see that the history of coffee is related to world history and major events.
