Seja Bem-Vindo

 Welcome to Cape Verde Coffee. This blog is part of my upcoming sabbatical in Cape Verde.

From the tasting table at Coffee Spirit in Mindelo, Cape Verde.

The coffee industry of Cape Verde is very small and also very specialized. It has certain characteristics that are perhaps unique to this island nation, but literature is not widely available. I have been learning about the industry for a few years and led a brief travel course there in January 2024. I plan to return for an extended stay in the spring semester of 2026, and will be using this blog to gather some of the information I find prior to and during that stay.

It is a source of pride to Cape Verdeans -- especially those in the diaspora. The purpose of this blog is to make information about this boutique coffee industry available to a wider audience, including curious Cape Verdeans and coffee professionals worldwide.
