A new world

In the mid-17th century, coffee was brought to New Amsterdam and was later called New York by the British.

Although cafes soon began to appear, tea remained the most popular drink in the New World until 1773, when the colonists rebelled against the heavy tax imposed on tea by King George III. The revolt, known as the Boston Tea Party (Boston Tea Party), will change Americans' preference for coffee forever.

"Coffee is the most popular drink in the civilized world." -- Thomas Jefferson

Plantations around the world

With the growing demand for this drink, growing coffee outside the Arabian Peninsula faces fierce competition.

The Dutch finally got the seedlings in the second half of the 17th century. Their first attempt to grow in India failed, but their efforts in Batavia were successful. Batavia is on the island of Java, now Indonesia.

Soon, the Dutch coffee business is getting better and better. Then they expanded the planting of coffee trees to Sumatra and Celebes.
