Portuguese 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. Recommendation:We recommend ordering whole bean coffee for maximum freshness and flavor. Ground coffee starts to oxidize and age, resulting in a flat flavor. Customer satisfaction is not guaranteed for ground coffee.
