• As H2O wasn’t security to drinkable inwards London inwards 17th & 18th centuries, most people were slightly tipsy from substituting watered downward beer. So moving to java instead had a doubling upward outcome - non exclusively was in that place no sedating outcome from the beer, the caffeine stimulated give-and-take in addition to telephone substitution of ideas which fuelled innovation
• Brazil has exclusively been growing java for a twosome of hundred years, simply for the terminal hundred or in addition to hence has been the world’s leading producer
• The British dearest of tea in addition to American dearest of java are related
