La Taza
Ajwa dates from Saudi Arabia
Black tea with cinnamon and cardamom
CREATIVE PROCESS:
In a place as peaceful and soothing as Larre Aundi, where horses sometimes wander over to see what we’re up to, the landscape naturally becomes part of the experience.
A beautiful corridor of trees surrounds this particular spot, creating a sense of intimacy and shelter around the table that inspired our Encuentro Creativo at UVE.
Here, the 40 lamps would become the heart of the space, bringing a warm, cosy light that invites you to slow down, gather around the table and enjoy the moment — creating an atmosphere that feels just as special and magical as the landscape itself.
