I grew up on a verandah in Almora, watching my grandmother boil water as if it were a small ceremony. She would talk to the leaves before she dropped them in. Years later, when I left a city desk and came back to that verandah, the kettle was still there — and so were the recipes, folded inside a tin.
Weneora is what happens when those recipes refuse to disappear. We work with eleven women across three villages, we never harvest in a hurry, and we taste every lot before it is sealed. Nothing leaves the atelier without my own thumbprint on the wax.
If we ever meet, ask for the second cup. The first is for the leaves; the second is for us.
