„Coffee houses and coffee were extremely popular in the 17thCentury London (they were the origin of Lloyd's of London and many other big enterprises).Historians claim that coffee houses drew men from their homes making lonely wives (bannedfrom coffee houses) angry at the beverage. A petition drafted complaining, requesting theclosure of these coffee houses and a large advertisement in favor of tea, converted thiscoffee loving nation into tea drinkers. Colonial America would have followed London's teapreference, with the exception of the "Boston Tea Party" which changed all thatand much more.“

„Lloyd's of London, the largest insurance market in the world, began life as a coffee house in 1688. From Europe coffee was taken to Virginia, USA, and the last three hundred years have seen coffee make its way around the world, establishing itself in the economies and lifestyles of the main trading nations.“

BBC - h2g2 - Lloyd's of London
„The most popular venues for trade were the numerous coffee houses in the city. Here the merchants would sell their wholesale goods to shopkeepers.It was also in these coffee houses that merchants would complain bitterly about the number of losses they were sustaining as a result of cargoes being lost at sea.Some businessmen, sensing an opportunity, began to make deals whereby they promised to reimburse to the merchants the value of the cargo if it did not arrive at port in a fit state for sale. In return for this insurance they demanded a premium. The value of the premium varied with the value of the cargo and, more importantly, with the risk being undertaken.“
