'Lisboa Coffee Language' T-shirt

A guide… to surviving the counter.

In Portugal, ordering a coffee isn't just ordering a coffee. It's almost a language in itself. There's the "bica", short and direct. The "galão", for those with time. The "garoto", the "abatanado", the "pingado" — small variations that always say something about the person on the other side.

'Lisboa Coffee Language' takes this unwritten code and transforms it into a graphic piece: a cultural map made of words, habits, and routines that are part of Lisbon's daily life.

Like all pieces from the Portugal Social Club, this isn't about tourism — it's about recognising patterns that everyone experiences, but rarely stops to think about.

Perfect for anyone who's ever had to explain what a "pingado" is. Or for those still trying to understand.
