This is my Chimarrão mug next to my backyard fireplace. Chimarrão is a indigenous tea from my home region of south Brasil. It's immensely popular and is often shared and passed around at parties and other gatherings. For me, it represents what I most value from the communities I grew up in and the ones I've found and created since then, which is the opportunity to sit around, drink, and talk with a group of friends who I love and love me in return.
