Rafael Marquese is writing a big book on the global history of coffee and there will be plenty on this! Tamis Parron's PhD thesis has a great chapter on this too.

That great feeling when you’re reading your student’s work and instantly know it’s destined to become a reference on the subject. 😭

Pqp a dificuldade que é encontrar um simples disco no spotify que não seja super ultra hiper deluxe premium version com 40 versões ao vivo, 30 da demo tape não lançada. Quero só ouvir a porra do disco com 40 minutinhos, como foi pensado quando lançado.

De vez em quando me perguntam por que eu não tentei continuar fora do Brasil depois de terminado o doutorado. São vários os motivos, mas um dos principais é a jabuticaba.
The jabuticaba tree grows grape-like berries directly on its trunk and branches, a unique method called cauliflory that has fascinated and puzzled people for centuries. This unusual trait is one of several challenges in cultivating this Brazilian tree outside its native habitat.
