>Yeah but is not really fantasy, coffee is a really mundane trade material.
It can easily be fantastical depending on choice and writing style. For example,
there could be a creature exclusive to the North whom upon consuming coffee
beans can serve as an oracle in some limited capacity. There can be guilds that war for the remaining supply putting pressure on the resources of the nobility, and maybe even
defecting to the south with sensitive information (or the aforementioned creature).

>the reader knows that it's stupid to halt a war just because of coffee
Unless the reader is given sufficient reasons not to think so.

>Magical crack on the other hand...
The coffee bean can be given magical properties if need be.
