Swipe for a tea break!

Blooming only a few weeks each Autumn, every crocus yields just three tiny stigmas of saffron-a rare, hand-harvested miracle of flavor and color beautifully captured in every tin by Diaspora Co.

They source South Asia’s freshest, heirloom, and single-origin spices directly from their partner farms to bring flavor, frangrance, and a more equitable spice trade.

Saffron is antioxidant rich and known to improve mood, enhance cognitive function, and reduced inflammation; making it perfect way to cheers with our team this morning!

While many businesses will be closed today to participate in the general strike, Preserved will remain open and our free Community Friday event will still be held this evening - as community gathering is at the heart of what we stand for.

While our shop doors will remain open, it goes without saying that we stand in solidarity with the strike and look forward to continued community organizing and a growing resistance. As always, a portion of our monthly proceeds will be donated to grassroots organizations that we support, and this month, we will be contributing to the Immigrant Defense Project.

For those who can participate, Oakland’s protest begins is at 2pm at Fruitvale Bart.
