A beauty treatment that’s just our cup of tea
things aren’t always what they seem at the kitchen table; keeping skincare fresh and effective means a facial routine occasionally infiltrates the cooking zone. oway’s winter and summer solstice tea blends are designed not to be drunk but splashed onto skin to enhance masking or cleansing regimes. an italian organic hair and skincare brand, oway boasts zero-miles biodynamic extracts and micronised plants among its ingredients, grown for the most part on its estate in the hills of Bologna. and we didn’t have to go too far from there to find our kettle, designed by milan-based michele De lucchi for alessi. our favoured brewing carafe, by nendo for Zens, we had to fly in from China, while the patterned porcelain bowl is an international effort from Dutch designers scholten & Baijings, Japanese ceramicist 1616 arita and us textile specialists maharam. our bronze tea scoop came from Danish designer alexander hinnerskov and the cloth is a stunning new release from the anni albers archive, by london’s Christopher farr.
