Coffee came to Sweden in 1685 when a small amount of it was marked as medicine in the customs of Gothenburg (Finland was a part of Sweden until 1809. Main outlines of Finnish history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Finland. In the 17th century Finns got to know coffee when in attendance of the court of Sweden, but truly the coffee came to Finland in the 1720's.

I suppose that by the expression “coffee party” you are meaning the "coffee klatch". Coffee is among the most important parts of Finland’s cultural history. It is often said that Finns drink more coffee than any other nation in the world. Coffee came to Finland around the 1730’s from Sweden, as did many other popular things. The coffee house culture began to flourish in Finland, but it never reached the same popularity as in Western Europe. From Turku the coffee culture spread out to Helsinki...6.4.2008 11:36Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

In Finnish genealogical research, researching people with a common surname is not always productive because people often changed their surnames when they moved or for other reasons. In the beginning of the 1900s as Finnish nationalism grew, many Swedish and other foreign sounding names were changed to Finnish names just like Hakala. New names could be direct translations, partial translations, or completely different names. A law requiring permanent surnames for all Finnish citizens was passed...9.5.2012 16:42Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

Whether Finnish Americans say nisu or pulla most probably depends on when their ancestors left Finland. In the 19th century nisu used to mean wheat. This meaning is now obsolete. Sweet wheat bread was also called nisu, and still is in western and northern dialects of Finnish. Pulla is a loan word from Finland Swedish bulla (in Sweden they say bulle). Both Swedish words mean a small, round bun style pulla. In Finnish pulla is the general term for braided loaves, small bun-like pullas and...4.7.2009 02:59Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

Lists or rankings of the world's "most venomous snakes" or "most dangerous snakes" are tentative and differ greatly due to numerous factors, including the recentness and reliability of the data, the number of species analyzed, and the testing methods used. In terms of human fatalities, the most venomous species may not always be the most dangerous; for example, while the Russell's viper has a significantly weaker venom than the inland taipan, it is responsible for far more deaths due to its...21.4.2010 10:55
