A note from the house
An ember is fire after the drama. Light it in the kitchen while something slow is cooking: crushed green cardamom from Idukki over the only wood oil in the world that is actually blue. Warm, not hot; patient.
Made most often for kitchens, and for Sundays.

The story
An ember is fire after the drama: steady, warm, patient. Cardamom from Idukki's hills is that kind of spice, green and cool at first, then warm for hours.
Blue cypress is the only wood oil in the world that is actually blue; it smells of cedar, honey and something faintly smoky.
Light it in the kitchen, while something slow is cooking.
