We go back to the NCA-National Coffee Association website. It was written that “by the mid 17th Century, there were over 300 coffee house in London, many of which attracted like-minded patrons, including merchants, shippers, brokers and artists…Many businesses grew out of these specialized coffee houses. Lloyd’s of London, for example, came into existence at the Edward Lloyd’s Coffee House.” Now we skip over to Lloyd’s of London website where it was said under the heading of “Our Past” that “from its beginning in a coffee house in 1688, Lloyd’s has been a pioneer in insurance and has grown over 330 years to become the world’s leading market for specialist insurance” So Lloyd’s of London was started over and/or around coffee. A Tally Ho and back to the NCA website we go. A bit after that it was written ” in the mid-1600s, coffee was brought to New Amsterdam, later called New York by the British.” Coffee came to America. “NEW YORK, NEW YORK”.
