Kestrel & Rue — Purveyors of Ground Matter — Est. 1897
Twenty-two tins, four tiers, arranged by the old dispensary order: roots below, seeds at the hand, fire at eye level, and the house blends kept high where the light is kindest.
Five pips, not scovilles. A pip is what a spoonful does to a plate of food, judged by the counter staff and revised each season. Zero pips means warmth without burn.
Nothing on the rack is milled more than twenty-one days before it reaches you. Whole stock keeps for a year in the tin; ground stock is honest for three months and flat by six.
