Amazon.com: Books: The Boston Coffee Party (I Can Read Book 3) (#)

„Kindergarten-Grade 3 There really was a ``Boston Coffee Party'' during the American Revolution in which women punished a selfish merchant who was hoarding his coffee bean stock during the wartime shortage until the price was high enough for profit. Rappaport tells a story based on this historic detail from the point of view of two young sisters of that time, in words that are easy to read but convey the feelings of the time and the action of the plot. Greedy merchant Thomas has already held back sugar; when they find him doing the same with coffee, the women of the sewing circle plan their ``party'' for revenge.“

Try to imagine a flavor that suits the area where your coffeehouse is situated. Serving a signature drink with warmer tones like vanilla or caramel on a cold East coast winter day can be a big hit.“
