Nuda Botanica

A beautiful tea meditation by the late Thich Nhat Hanh 💚

Jackie here! 👋 1/2 of the Nuda Botanica team. A little about me:

My master's is in “Food Culture & Communications: High-Quality Products” from UNISG - Università degli Studi di Scienze Gastronomiche in Pollenzo, Italy (the Slow Food school).

My studies centered around the importance of the land, the maker, and production process of food and beverages. And, most fun, how to taste and understand (with all of your senses) quality cheese, meat, beer, wine, bread, and all of that good stuff.

For my thesis (entitled: The Pursuit of Cured Meat: Can an Italian Tradition Achieve the American Dream? ) I spent a few months working at a salumificio (salumi-maker) in Italy near Parma. I spent many hours poking salami and brushing off mold, before returning to NYC to work as a butcher apprentice at Dickinson's in Chelsea Market.

I'd love to know more about you, so feel free to introduce yourself below!😊
