Step into the rich and aromatic world of coffee production with Café! Immerse yourself in 18th century Portugal, a time when the reign of King John V set the stage for coffee's rise as a global sensation.

During this historical era, Sergeant Melo Palheta was entrusted with a momentous dual mission: to formalize the Utrecht Treaty of 1713 and secretly smuggle precious coffee seeds back to Brazil. His daring success laid the groundwork for Brazil to emerge as one of the world’s leading coffee producers by 1800.

Fast forward to the early 20th century, and the delightful flavors of Brazilian coffee, alongside beans from São Tomé and Príncipe, Angola, and Timor, gained immense popularity in Portugal. This burgeoning appreciation fueled the growth of prestigious coffee shops in iconic locations, attracting the elite with their exquisite blends and irresistible aromas.
