A consequential act of defiance secured tea's place as perhaps the most iconic beverage of America's colonial era. The Boston Tea Party became an essential ingredient in the recipe for revolution in the following years. But tea wasn't the only hot beverage with a prominent role in America's fight for independence. Coffee was an important part of American culture from the start.
