Café Castel was founded in 1875, in the heyday of the coffee market worldwide, by a merchantt from Malaga, Spain Don Simon Castel Saenz ( 1850-1925 ) - a flourishing business dealing with goods from overseas and devoting time to other activities, such as flour,manufacturing and , specially, coffee roasting.

As the years went by, coffee was become Castel's main focus of interest, the aim of the company's increasingly powerful business drive.

From the 19th century to the present day Castel has kept alive the tradition of the great coffee manufacturers , evidencing at the same time an unwaving innovative thrust that has placed it among the major advocates and promotors of the new coffee culture.

Products include the exclusive Jamaica Blue Mountain from the Wallenford plantation, Puerto Rico Yauco selecto, Papua New Guinea from the AA Sigri plantation, Guatemala vulcan de oro and Java Djampit.

Present day Castel is for the first time for sale outside Spain.
