The Counter Card: Who Writes These Pages

Behind the counter

The Afternoon Pot is written and kept by BIO CHA COMERCIO E DISTRIBUIDORA LTDA, a tea room, juice and snack business that also supplies food products to resellers, registered in Brazil under CNPJ 37.592.479/0001-02, in São Paulo, SP. Letters reach us at contato@thelongerafternoon.com.

Why the notes are in English

Our guests at four o'clock are mostly past fifty, and so are the people we picture reading this from somewhere in America with a pot of their own. Bio Chá's company pages, one in Portuguese and one in English, open from the bare domain address.

How the site might pay for itself

Today these pages hold no checkout and no shopping link. Down the road, the domain could send readers on to American online shops, and a purchase made through one of those links may earn Bio Chá a fee from the shop itself. Any such link would be labeled for what it is, and whatever price appears would be the shop's, set by the shop.

What a note here is not
