Tasse 1

Simple and elegant mug for hot and cold beverages

I read about Anti-inflammatory Hot chocolate (a mixture of ashwagandha, mushroom powder, cacao, and oat milk with a bit of vanilla and coconut sugar) one grey winte afternoon. Immediately intrigued because who doesn’t love hot chocolate? And if I could also convince myself that I was healing the energy imbalance through anti-inflammatory and chocolate, -then what could be better? 

From the next day, every day till temperatures became too hot to justify sweating while drinking, I had hot chocolate in a mug so big you have to hold it with both hands. So hot, that you have to cool it off with soft blows as the steam rises, warming your face. It wasn’t particularly indulgent, but it was what I needed –  some sort of routine pleasure that reminded me that it was ok to take care of myself on a daily basis. Tasse is that. The mug that you want to use every day: that constant presence, a reminder of peace, sturdy and comfortable in your hands, but big enough for that extra caffeine boost you need on a Monday. 

PS- the dog’s name is Astro, and he is brilliant
