With this high cost of coffee I could easily understand how a Jamaican would not get used to drinking a cup of coffee at such a young age, definitely the economy here in my country is a determining factor.
I imagine that for that same reason it was only consumed by adults for the most part.
But all in all the best thing is that in due time you had the opportunity to create your own experiences and you took on the task of creating this and community.
