Warm Nourishing Locally Grown Drinks- Key Tea

aknfbtj7_400x400

 

This is Key Tea, the key to the path of local herbs, the musical key calling forth a tone of coming back to the earth, coming to the abundance in the garden next door, in the farm up the street, in the life of plants, close plants, Bay Area plants, plants that live and breathe, and feel the same air as us, who defend themselves against the same diseases, the same conditions, who help us thrive, and whose species is blessed by our acceptance, our not looking across oceans for leaves, or across continents for roots. Our roots are here in the Bay Area, in this chilly, bright climate, in these clay and sand soils. We help farmers with this tea, we help our health with every sip, we live our connection with every cup. Visit Key Tea!

Nourishing Food: Megan McCulloch & Cherimoya megan-cook-1-e1457637335570

Bold, bright and daring might be words to describe Cherimoya’s style. Having collected flavors, inspiration and ideas from around the world, a fresh contemporary cuisine is born and married with a focus on local, seasonal organic foods. Pushing the boundaries of new exotic flavors is balanced with centuries-old wisdom and technique. But enough of this flowery talk, let the food speak for itself…

Eating well is a delicate balance of eating healthy, nourishing, whole foods and delighting in the culinary riches of flavor and cuisine. Gleaning the most out of both worlds, Cherimoya focuses on fresh, organic, local, seasonal and grown-with-love foods, and cooking with inspiration from a wide variety of the world’s cuisines. Cooking and eating with love and passion is at the core of my beliefs.

For more information, visit Cherimoya Food.
