Earlier Coffee in Americas

In OTL the French introduced coffee to the Americas on the island of Martinique in 1720 but coffee houses had already spring up in Britain as early as the 1650's right about the time of the English conquest of Jamaica. So WI Henry Morgan(just for fun)or his predecessor introduces coffee to Jamaica. Do the Spanish take note?

No takers huh? Ok, so WI following the introduction of coffee Irish deportees begin using the marginal land allocated them following their indentured servitude. This group of people could become very wealthy overtime.

I believe over the course of a century a group of Gens de couleur would arise on Jamaica and the British West Indies. I can see this class having coffee plantations but also coveting the sugar plantations of absentee landowners preferring to remain in London rather than live in the Caribbean. Maybe we get a population sympathetic to the rebel's cause during the American War of Independence.
