The Perfect Coffee Pairing

The Perfect Coffee Pairing

Who doesn't need a few minutes to close your eyes and relax?  Of course, a perfectly-sweetened cup of chai, tea, coffee or other beverage is just the ticket to make that moment happen.

We love these sweet moments - even more so with our stunning Minoan Collection sugar and honey container.  Beautifully  hand-crafted by a family studio from the island of Crete, they use ancient Greek methods to faithfully re-create these designs.  Amazing to know that you can enjoy a spoonful of honey as the Greeks did millenia ago.  These amazing artisans faithfully re-create the shape, using the glazing techniques and clay sources their Grecian ancestors did over three thousand years ago.

Beautiful, sturdy, each one one of a kind and even dishwasher-ready (although in all fairness the Minoans and other cultures hadn't anticipated dishwashing machines)!.

 

Enjoy.  We offer this beautiful, sleek and appealingly rustic-yet-contemporary piece in cream and charcoal. https://bit.ly/rusticasugar
