We consider the six tastes (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent) and the qualities of foods to ensure each meal supports optimal health.

We use only fresh, organic, and locally-sourced ingredients. Our meals are free from preservatives, additives, and excess processing.
Intention
Our food is prepared with positive intention and mindfulness, infusing each dish with healing energy.
