MELO SEDUCTION Coffee Beans

In 1727, a Portuguese Lieutenant Colonel named Francisco Melo Palheta was
commissioned by the Brazilian government to steal a coffee plant from the French,
since that country along with all others that posses this refuse to share. During his
visit, Palheta allegedly seduced the wife of the French Governor, Marie-Claude de
Vicq de Pontgibaud. At the state dinner on the eve of Palheta’s departure, she
presented a bouquet of flowers, that contained cuttings of the coffee plant. Palheta
began planting the tree back in Brazil, which led to the rise and global domination of
Brazil’s coffee industry.

Melo Seduction pays homage to Palheta. Celebrating the flavors from the fruit of his
greatest conquest, which is the dominant origin and flavor used for this blend.
