THE STORY BEHIND THE CUP The origin of Brazilian coffee comes with passion and intrigue, dating back to the early 18th Century. Portugeuse Lt. Col Francisco del Melo Palheta smuggled coffee seedlings into Brazil from French Guiana. The story goes he seduced the Guainese Governor's wife and convinced her to help him smuggle the coffee. At a state farewell dinner, she presented the Lt. Col with a bouquet of flowers with the coffee seedlings. Today, Brazil is the largest coffee producer.
