A paint of a sugar shop. The eighteenth century which saw the apex of refinement and the art of living in Europe discovered coffee and chocolate which became fashionable beverages. “Chocolate time” as François Boucher painted it is a testimony of party delicacies. The first public café, Le Procope then opened its doors in Paris. It is today the oldest café in the world. These bitterish beverages call for the use of sugar, whose consumption will soar. Sugar as a current consumer good, had now become a staple word.
