Enhancing Cape Verdean Terroir
Beyond mere presence, JBEY GROG’s mission was to highlight Cape Verdean local products: sugarcane, traditional fermentation, local expertise. Through careful staging, artisanal storytelling, and an immersive tasting experience, participants discovered a rare alliance between quality, origin, and cultural identity, presented by José Andrade.
A Sensory and Cultural Experience
The JBEY GROG stand offered:
-
A visual presentation illustrating the Cape Verdean origin of each ingredient and the local supply chain, with an emphasis on the island of Brava.
-
A guided tasting by the creator of JBEY, highlighting the typical notes of Brava grog.
-
Direct interaction with consumers and other producers to offer a true human story behind the brand.
This approach engaged the public not only on taste, but also on history and authenticity.
