Meet Kana & Enjoy 20% Off Their Line of Sustainable Cookware

To kick off summer entertaining season, we teamed up with our friends at Kana — makers of beautiful, sustainable kitchenware like Dutch ovens, cast iron skillets, and baking pans — to share one of our favorite ways to host: a relaxed, seasonal brunch at home. Kana's offering World Spice customers 20% off their entire site with code WSPICE20 — making now the perfect time to upgrade your kitchen gear or pick up a thoughtful gift for your favorite host. So what’s cookin’? A gorgeous Lemon and Thyme Rhubarb Cake, baked to perfection and served alongside our mellow Keemun black tea. Simple, shareable, and seriously good. Crowd Pleaser Bright, tender, and topped with jewel-toned rhubarb, this cake is a stunner — whether it’s the finishing touch or one of many bites on the table, don’t be surprised if everyone asks for the recipe (and there aren’t any leftovers).    Get the recipe. Tools of the Trade We baked ours in Kana’s 9-inch Stainless Steel Cake Pan — sleek, durable, and made from 100% recycled materials — and lined it with their genius Easy-Lift Parchment Rounds. No sticking. No stress. No crumbs left behind. And that handsome cutting board pictured above? It’s reversible — one side has a smooth surface with juice grooves, and the flip side doubles as a serving tray or charcuterie board. Even better, it’s handcrafted by Kana from reclaimed North American wood.    Beverage Service A slice of this cake practically begs for a pot of Keemun — a mellow Chinese black tea with notes of cocoa, stone fruits, and smoke. Smooth and rich, it brings balance to the tart rhubarb and herbaceous Thyme.
