Wattleseed Chai - Almost Seventy Years Out of Date
From Before It Begins · 00:04:10
Show by Impala and Peacock
The cup is wattleseed chai, and the colour comes in dark and warm, deepening at the bottom before it evens out. Every edge in the cup is softened by something gentler, a sweetness that arrives and vanishes almost at once. The source is agave, a plant once thought to flower only once a century, but whose real number is smaller than the legend. Years of patient saving, released in a single flowering stalk. Most things filed under "one day" are closer than we think.—-Today's cup: Wattleseed Chai — wattleseed, chicory root, ginger, cloves, pink and black peppercorns, pepper berries, cinnamon, fennel, agave, cardamom.Brew Guide: 1 tsp, 200mL, 100°C, two minutes black or four-plus with milk.Caffeine - Free (suitable for the evening)---A tea and a musing every weekday morning.To drink along with us; join our tea ritual here.
