Of the Darkening of the Drink
Taken from the Quenta Caffemarillion:
Javanna spoke before the Valar, saying, "The Coffee of the Two Trees has passed away, and lives now only in the Cafilmarills of Feanoroma. Had I but a little of that coffee, I could recall them to life, ere their beans decay, and thus the malice of Maxwellcôr be confounded."
Then Manwëhous spoke, "Hearest thou, Feanoroma son of Frenchroast, the words of Javanna? Wilt thou grant what she has asked?"
Feanoroma spoke then, and he cried bitterly, "It may be that I can unlock my beans, but never again shall I brew their like; and if I must brew them, then I will break my mug, and my coffee shall spill, the first stain in all of Aman."
"Not the first," said Mandosucra, and he said no more, but wore a knowing smile.
Manwëhous looked at him and said, "You know, that is really annoying!"
Mandosucra looked back at him and smiled again. "I know."
Feanoroma then learned that Maxwellcôr had gone to his home, and stolen his Cafilmarills, and spilled his father Frenchroast's coffee upon the ground. He lifted his hand to Manwëhous, and cursed Maxwellcôr, calling him Nocreme, the Black Foe of the Latté. He cursed also Manwëhous, and Javanna, and his father Frenchroast, and the incorporeal air; and they knew then that he had had too much of the coffee, and they set him down with a donut to rid himself of the shakes.
And so Aman was darkened, and the Coffee of the Two Trees was feared lost forever, but this was not so...
