The political alliance between Minas Gerais and São Paulo was known as the "Café com Leite" alliance. This term referred to the predominant agricultural products of each state at the time of the Old Republic in Brazil.
1. Minas Gerais was known for its coffee production, represented by the term "café."
2. São Paulo was known for its dairy industry, represented by the term "leite."
