From the farm to Mandela Partners to the kitchen at Café Colucci. 🌱

The Oaklandside/East Bay Nosh recently took a deep dive into the economics behind Café Colucci’s delicious Vegan Combo — and in doing so told part of a story that Café Colucci and Mandela Partners have been building together for years.

It’s a relationship that connects local farmers, Mandela Partners, Café Colucci, and ultimately the people sitting around our tables.

Mandela works directly with small-scale local farmers, helping connect their produce to communities, restaurants, and businesses across Oakland and the East Bay. Through our longtime partnership, produce from those farmers makes its way through Mandela’s West Oakland distribution center and into Café Colucci’s kitchen, where it becomes part of dishes like the Vegan Combo.

The article looks at what happens when rising costs, fuel prices, global supply chains, and the realities facing small farms all meet on a single plate - and why relationships like these matter even more when the economics get difficult.

We’re grateful to the farmers who grow our food, to the teams at Mandela Partners and Café Colucci who keep that connection moving, and to East Bay Nosh/The Oaklandside for taking the time to trace the story from its source all the way to the plate.

This one goes deep! It’s worth saving to read later or clicking the link in bio for the full interactive experience.

Thanks to @calliopearkilic for researching and writing this. taken in Oakland, California by @brundospices

Before bitters, there were tinctures.

For centuries, herbs, roots, bark, seeds and spices have been steeped in alcohol to draw out their flavor and aroma. Once the territory of herbalists and apothecaries, tinctures eventually found another very good home: behind the bar.

Today, chefs and bartenders across contemporary African food and drink are putting spices to work in the glass-bringing aroma, heat, bitterness and unexpected layers of flavor to cocktails. Ird, Mitmita, Kosseret and Besobela can do a lot more than season a pot.

We explore this in Spiced Spirits: A Modern Expression of African Spice & Spirit-our cocktail zine featuring five contemporary African cocktails + recipes for making your own spice tinctures at home. Designed by creative director @wrdolandia at @mandalastudios .

Order your copy and start experimenting.

And Bay Area friends, come taste it in person. We’ll be at @cafecolucci in Oakland for an @bayabgin gin tasting + spiced cocktails, exploring what happens when African spirits and Ethiopian spices meet behind the bar. The botanicals in these gins include Baobab, Marula, Palm, and more.

Get the zine online. Come have a drink with us in Oakland. Or better yet, do both. by @brundospices

What if an Ethiopian tea blend became your new favorite coffee drink?

For this episode with @brundospices , i turned Ethiopian Tea Blend ( Shai Kimem) into an Ethiopian Dirty Chai.

Ethiopian Tea Blend Concentrate Recipe:

• 2 cups filtered water
• 10g Brundo Spiced Tea Blend

Simmer 6-8 minutes, cover and steep for another 5 minutes before straining it.

Use about 50-60g of the concentrate per drink.

Try it at home and tell me if this belongs in your coffee rotation.

Some of the best coffee ideas come from asking a simple question:

“What if we trued something different?”

Most people know berbere as one of Ethiopia’s most iconic spice blends for cooling. But with just the right amount of, it can bring a whole new layer of warmth and complexity to coffee.

I’m excited to partner with @brundospices to explore Ethiopian spices in coffee.

ኢንተርናሽናል school ተምሬ፣ ውጭ ሀገር ኖሬም የኢትዮጵያዊነት ነገር ከውስጤ አልጠፋም!
