I visited the tranquil Jagasilk tea room a few weeks ago to chat with Jared, co-founder of the tea business, to enter in one of the most food nerdy conversations I have been able to have so far! I learned so much from just talking with him for an hour... 

Our conversation started at tea, where I learned about how there are many more kinds of tea than just black and green.. a whole rainbow, in fact! However the conversation quickly involved into the larger politics of consuming food including the terroir of kale, the zen of being 'fussy' and the delicate politics of supporting local indigenous foods as settlers.
