Dedicated Coconut – Sam Gowing

The Grinning Face Back in the old days this tropical fruit was known as cocoanut, a term derived from16th century Portuguese and Spanish cocos, meaning, “grinning face” – because of the three small holes on its coconut shell. Approximately one third of the world’s population depends on the humble coconut with one billion coconut palms blowing throughout the tropics, which in turn produce over 50 billion coconuts per annum – mostly for consumption as detailed… Continue Reading…

And ever since, in a sense, the little leaf has been bastardised. Commercialised and totally sold out. To drink tea without some ritual or ceremony is kind of like listening to bad music through one earphone.
