Caverna Espresso

Drow coffee beans are considered a valuable resource to powerful businessman, intrepid adventurers, and coffee shop owners alike.
Caverna Espresso, brewed from these beans, has some unique features not shared by the same beverage made from mundane coffee.
For one- it's flavor is entirely unique. Unable to be duplicated by any synthetic ingredients or even magical attempts to duplicate its' taste. Preference for the flavor is varied, but those lucky enough to try it describe it as a pleasant bitterness that brings memories to the taster of some dramatic or theatrical moment they've witnessed in their lifetime.
The primary reason for it's desirability though lies in it's unique effect on humanoids that normally require sleep- with even a small cup of Caverna espresso, the drinker experiences near boundless energy, an unnatural focus, and temporary freedom from the need for sleep.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The secret of the growth of drow coffee beans is closely guarded, though surface mages have deciphered a few facts about the process.
The coffee beans are grown out of some sort of undiscovered but biological creature that dwells near un-mined ley lines still full of living spells. Dark elf mages are involved in the beans creation as well.
Any reports that the espresso is addictive are false and quickly forgotten by the larger population.
Pay no attention to what the floating eyes tell you.
