Start fresh this New Year, detox your body from December's toll with a refreshing cup of Pure Ceylon Green Tea; with fresh herb notes complementing a refined and elegant green tea. Enjoy!
For that
special day, we are sharing with you our magic: the very
famous “????” (Herring
under a fur coat)!
“SHOUBA” translates to “HERRING UNDER A FUR COAT” for short. It is a much-loved
Russian meal popular during Theophany. “SHOUBA” is a warm
winter fur coat worn in Russia for hundreds of years. Herring Under a Fur
Coat consists of layered potato, herring, carrots, beets, mayonnaise and
grated egg which makes the dish look like it’s covering the herring by a bright
purple fur coat.
