Xícara e Sabor: reading the cup without a scorecard
A Santos-based Portuguese-language notebook observes cups, porcelain, infusions and the domestic table without rating cafés or measuring taste.
- For
- Readers drawn to cups, infusions and domestic-object writing
- Worth noticing
- The “Cenas” section describes objects in view—a spoon on a saucer, a water jug beside a cup—without attributing actions to unnamed people.
Field notes
The index separates six labels—Porcelana, Barro, Dose, Pires, Casa and Fundo—as cup types or editorial categories, not visited venues. Its “Cenas” section catalogs visible arrangements such as a spoon on a saucer, a water jug beside a cup, and an empty chair; the text repeatedly distinguishes observation from measurement or attributed human stories. The dated agenda calls itself an order of reading, not a list of events, and the homepage offers a weekly email note.
