Caf bean/Legends

The caf bean was grown on a plant native to Garqi, an agriworld in the Cassander sector. The bean grew plentifully on the Outer Rim world, and was harvested and exported to the Core Worlds as a luxury foodstuff; this cultivation was particularly encouraged following the Imperial annexation of the Cassander sector shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Garqi caf beans produced gourmet-quality caf, a bitter, caffeinated beverage brewed with hot water Crosscurrent, chapter 10 and ground beans. According to the Jedi Knight Corran Horn, The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide II: Ruin, chapter 6 who spent some time on the planet in 6 ABY, the Garqians never mastered the art of brewing caf beans into decent caf, despite hosting numerous tapcafes.
==Behind the scenes==
Author Michael Stackpole created caf beans for his novel The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide II: Ruin, published by Del Rey in 2000; however, he had previously mentioned the drink caf in several of his other novels.See, for example, X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble, X-Wing: The Krytos Trap, and X-Wing: The Bacta War. The Garqi caf beans were later mentioned in Wizards of the Coast's Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, published in 2004.
