Louisiana: The Coffee State

When the French established Louisiana, the taste for coffee was firmly “planted” in the state. With the ports and the rise of coffee plantations in the Caribbean and Central and South America, the Mississippi River served as a coffee gateway to the United States. Thursday night, Elizabeth Williams, president of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum of New Orleans, will lecture on “Louisiana: The Coffee State” at the Old Governor’s Mansion, and coffee will be provided by Community Coffee.
