São Tomé and Príncipe / DATE IDEA

Coffee alongside cocoa.

Taste a coffee and a chocolate drink one after the other and discuss how aroma, bitterness and sweetness affect the conversation.

01 / SÃO TOMÉ AND PRÍNCIPE

Go at your own pace.

In São Tomé and Príncipe, cocoa, coffee, island cuisine and coastal light can give a small date a sense of direction.

02 / HOW TO DO IT

Taste a coffee and a chocolate drink one after the other and discuss how aroma, bitterness and sweetness affect the conversation.
Choose small servings and keep caffeine in mind.
Ask about the origins of the coffee and cocoa.

No local tasting? Make both drinks at home.

02 / São Tomé and Príncipe

03 / São Tomé and Príncipe

Choose a local stretch of coast that's open to the public and each take three photos of the same view at different times.
