Gourmet

Great chocolates and great coffees, like grand wines, require the most appropriate soil, the most perfect, healthy and mature fruit, the cleanest and purest methods of processing. These things happen only in São Tomé and Principe. You want proof? Please, click here. We met the owner who made us taste several chocolates. No doubt, this is the best!
