The journal

What I write from the island, and from Dubai.

Not tips, not recipes. Notes on a place where tea is difficult to grow, and why that is worth the trouble.

No timer, no thermometer, and better than mine every time.

What it takes to move a small harvest six thousand kilometres without ruining it.
