About the Artisans:
In 2001, a terrible drought persisted for several years and brought devastation to the pasture lands. The livelihood of the Maasai disappeared as their cattle died. The men had to drive the few remaining cattle hundreds of miles away in search for better grazing while the women looked desperately for ways to feed, clothe, and educate their children and obtain medical supplies. Philip and Katy Leakey, founders of The Leakey Collection who live among the Maasai in East Africa, wanted to provide their neighbors with work opportunities. They came up with an imaginative idea to utilize the excellent beading abilities of the Maasai women by using a readily available, sustainable resource- GRASS- as the primary element.
Soon the Leakeys discovered that for centuries, African women had revered the restorative benefits of Marula oil and decided to offer it to the world also. After the Marula fruit is collected under the wild stands of trees, the nuts are removed from the fruit by hand. The nuts are slowly sun-dried, naturally concentrating the oil prior to extraction. The hard outer shells are individually split by hand; each kernel is removed and inspected for freshness, discarding any of poor quality. The oil-rich ivory colored kernels are pressed through The Leakey Collection's unique, proprietary cold-pressing system, ensuring the highest quality product. Now, even the men have joined in the entrepreneurial opportunities.

I lived in Ghana for a couple years in the early 1980's. I collected many special mementos from Bolga baskets, an Ashanti stool, lost wax castings, leather goods an old sea chest and numerous water colors but was never able to find a drum to bring back. When I saw this one on your page I knew my 40 year search was over. The service and response was incredible. The drum came as was promised and was incredibly well packaged to prevent damage. The beauty and tone of this drum are incredible. Thank you for doing this.

We used to buy this at the world market, but they don't sell it anymore. It is the tastiest sauce ever. Well balanced, not too hot. Good on eggs, meat, as a marinade. As a dipping sauce. I bought 3 bottles! Just an extraordinary product, and of a shelf full of sauces, this is our favorite, no contest.

Well crafted, great detail- the most well packed item I received. Took me 20 minutes to unwrap it.

Fully staffed, managed, and owned by small-scale Kenyan tea farmers, JustTea was granted one of the first tea processing licenses to produce these artisanal, direct-from-farm teas by The Tea Board of Kenya. The tea farm is nestled in the rolling green Nandi Hills where its volcanic soil naturally produces some of the world’s most flavourful tea. This small specialty factory processes a rainbow of teas: Purple, Green, Oolong and Black artisanal teas.
