I really enjoyed your piece in the latest issue of 80 Degrees - the part about how tea managed to comfort during the loss of your brother was particularly moving. Loved the part that covers how chai/karak has been absorbed into the culture of the Arabian Peninsula but isn’t recognized as such - and would love to read a more in depth piece about that if you have the gas in your tank to write it, at least worth a pitch I think!

Anyhow I wrote a little about experience with karak/chai in that part of the world too if you care to read: https://open.substack.com/pub/teawithdweez/p/the-tea-cup?r=ap3w&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Keep pitching and writing! You’re doing a great job.
The obstacle is the way :)
