According to Roasty
Coffee, New Orleans ranks as America's 9th most caffeinated
city. You're probably tweaking off your double shots of espresso right now just
reading this—and that's ok! It's most likely part of your morning routine to
make your own cup of coffee or grab one from your local coffee shop. Many of
you are college students and probably bleed coffee! It's actually funny how
places in the city that aren't even coffee shops smell like it because people
drink it so much. The city thrives on tourism, music, and great food. Those who
work to keep those aspects alive do so tirelessly, and caffeine is usually the
best way to keep them afloat.
However, when it comes to pumpkin spice latte
popularity, Roasty Coffee says NOLA doesn't even crack the top 30 in the
country. The Crescent City just loves its coffee above all else!
According to Perfect Daily Grind, coffee has
been a significant import in the city for centuries. As far back as the 19th century,
many coffee importers operated here. The Port of New Orleans remains one of the
country's most important hubs for importing coffee. The port even has roasting
facilities. And in case you did not know, one of Folger's most extensive
national coffee roasting facilities is located near the port.
