Legend has it in 1727 Francisco del Mello Palheta was sent out on a secret mission to bring coffee to his homeland of Brazil. Acting as a secret agent, Palheta traveled to French Guinea, asked the Governor for coffee seedlings, and was refused.

Palheta accepted the gift, returned home and shortly thereafter, coffee began growing in Brazil!
