I think you could argue this two ways, thematically. Coffee originated in Africa, was really 'domesticated' in the Arabian Peninsula, and didn't come in via trade until the 17th century which isn't quite the right time period or setting for Haven. However... we have Silk already, which was also a Near East/Far East good.

If the intent was just another drink to cover the satiation hole, I think something else would fit -better,- but the concept is solid.

Well, both coffee and silkworms were cross-breed for thousands of years.

Not much point in arguing for these things when the whole system might just get scrapped with a rework to the FEP system. A lot of people just want these to go, and have us go back to the simpler system of legacy Haven. Otherwise, I think jorb has expressed a desire to expand this a bit more with more drinks... just hasn't quite figured out what, or hasn't expressed any of those ideas to us yet. Without the satiation system, I don't see the point in bringing in "non-lore" items. (Yes, I'd like to see pumpkins go... though they could be replaced with edible gourds native to Europe.)
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Coffee does not fit the game and should not be added.

Also guy above me is right, remove kebab & hookah, we are not arabs even though sweden is starting to look like it.
