“The story begins with a scent. You know it: the bright snap when a peel is bent, the mist that arcs through kitchen light and hangs there like a tiny halo before it disappears. Citrus is a mood you can smell. In December, that mood does different work depending on where you stand on the planet. In the North, citrus rides into winter like a small sun—foreign, treasured, a memory of far fields. In the South, it threads itself through long evenings, a punctuation mark in air already warm and sweet. Either way, citrus is history in your hands.”
History and Ritual of citrus. I hope you enjoy it.
