That the U. S. became a nation of coffee-swizzlers was no more accident than Great Britain's taking to tea. Coffee reached England about 1650 from Arabia, tea about 1857 from China. In the interval, England's great East India Company let Dutch and French exporters grab most of the coffee trade. So British patriots turned to tea.
