Burning Esfand is a Zoroastrian ritual to keep the evil eyes away. Iranians traditionally considered Esfand as a sacred herb. We believe that burning Espand keeps you safe from sorrow, illness, and negative energies; therefore, it has a strong presence in rituals and special ceremonies like wedding or Nowruz.
In this kit, you will get a handmade stick with a box of colorful Espand.
How to burn Espand: heat up the stick on the stove top until it’s red or completely hot, tip the red part in the Espand and let it burn, the smoke is aromatic and cleansing.
I personally burn Espand everyday at the studio ;)

Persian Chai
Chai is the heartbeat of our gatherings. It welcomes guests, anchors celebrations, accompanies long conversations, and sits quietly beside us in moments of remembrance. In Persian homes, chai is presence. It is connection. It is how we live together.
Our Persian Chai is inspired by my mother’s Marfeshou Davaee — a large, round drawstring fabric bag she sewed herself from vibrant, colorful textiles. Inside were smaller hand-tied drawstring pouches, each holding a different treasure: green cardamom pods, dried rose petals, fenugreek seeds, cinnamon sticks, and fragrant herbs. Those little bags carried more than spices. They carried wisdom, healing, and the scent of a Persian home. From that memory, I create our signature blends — layered, aromatic, and comforting. Each cup invites you to slow down, pour generously, and sit a little longer — just as we do in our culture, where chai is always ready and everyone belongs.
