The History Of Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)
„Coffee was not only drunk in homes but also in the many public coffee houses -- called qahveh khaneh -- which began to appear in cities across the Near East. The popularity of the coffee houses was unequaled and people frequented them for all kinds of social activity. Not only did they drink coffee and engage in conversation, but they also listened to music, watched performers, played chess and kept current on the news of the day. In fact, they quickly became such an important center for the exchange of information that the coffee houses were often referred to as 'Schools of the Wise.'“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Who should drink it: Holiday entertainers too sophisticated for brassy artificially flavored coffees but who want a change of pace. Probably best drunk black or with spirits (brandy, rum, grappa) and a little brown sugar. May not be sturdy enough to support much milk or cream.“

„Joe Sheridan came up with Irish Coffee, a hot drink consisting of coffee mixed with whiskey and sugar then topped off with half an inch of cream, through which the coffee is drunk. Even after conventional planes replaced flying boats after World War Two, Shannon airport was still used as a fuelling point, and Irish Coffee continued to be extremely popular. In the 1950s, Stanford Delaplane, a travel writer from the San Francisco Chronicle, was in transit and liked Irish Coffee so much that he decided to import it to the USA. However, his best efforts to make the cream float separately on the top proved unsuccessful and he returned to Shannon for a lesson from Sheridan.“

„Also on page 20 it is claimed that white tea has "virtually no caffeine." I am having white tea myself this afternoon with lunch (Foojoy's Bai Mudan) which I have drunk many times before. I can say with complete confidence that it has noticeably more than "virtually no caffeine."“
