COFFEE HAS BEEN BANNED FIVE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF HISTORY, THE FIRST OFFENSE WAS FOR “STIMULATING RADICAL THINKING.” HOWEVER, FROM THE MONKS OF ETHIOPIA TO THE COWBOYS OF THE AMERICAN WEST, COFFEE HAS BEEN REVERED BY THE WILD ONES, SUPPORTING DREAMS OF A WORLD THEY SET OUT TO CREATE. IT HAS BEEN FOUGHT FOR, STOLEN, SMUGGLED, WORSHIPPED, AND BLESSED IN ITS QUEST TO ACCOMPANY THE BRAVE.
