Once considered more precious than gold, cinnamon was one of the most sought-after spices of the ancient world. It played a key role in global trade and was often used in religious ceremonies, symbolising abundance and prosperity.
Brewing is more than preparation — it’s a pause. Notice the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and the first sip. Each blend is an invitation to slow down and be present.
