Abigail Adams enjoying a cup of coffee as her husband helps create the United States of America. Coffee replaced tea as the infamous Tea Tax was imposed. Happy Birthday America!

This picture may be referring to the two Mrs Adams and the mixed up Tea delivery.

"The American colonists back in the 1770s loved liberty more than tea. But not by much. Thus Abigail Adams agonized in the summer of 1776 when tea was hard to find in Massachusetts. She craved tea and wrote to her husband John in Philadelphia, where tea was more readily available, to please send her some. “A little India herb would have been mighty agreeable now” she hinted in a postscript to a July 14, 1776, letter."
