This story follows Hanadi, a Sudanese tea seller, and her young helper, Salma.
In a nation shaken by conflict and displacement, their quiet ritual of brewing tea becomes an act of remembrance and survival.

Through cinnamon, cardamom, and honey, Hanadi teaches that peace (Kef) begins in small gestures; a steady hand, a shared cup, a story that refuses to fade.
What's inside:
The book pays tribute to the women who hold communities together when everything else falls apart — turning care itself into courage.
Care as Resistance
Hanadi teaches that small rituals like boiling water, waiting, and sharing, can rebuild worlds.
In a time of uncertainty, her calm becomes an anchor for the community.
Memory in Motion
Every scent carries history: the same spices once travelled along Nubian trade routes, linking deserts, rivers, and generations of women who brewed strength into sweetness.
“Tea must never rush,” Hanadi says. “It listens before it speaks.”
