The collection,
in three acts.

Each piece is a small editorial — a single square, hand-tempered in California, dosed with the eighteen mushrooms of the maison.

Strawberry Swirl Feature 01 01
— For the bright morning
Strawberry Swirl
Wild Provençal strawberry folded into Madagascan dark, with Lion's Mane for the clear-eyed first thought of the day. Bright. Specific. Unmistakable.

Hot Choco Mocha Feature 02 02
— For the long, held hour
Hot Choco Mocha
Slow-roasted Ethiopian coffee, deep single-origin cocoa, and Cordyceps for the sustained note. A held breath, expressed as a square.

Lychee Milk Tea Feature 03 03
— For the soft descent
Lychee Milk Tea
Lychee from Guangdong, oat-milk white cacao, and Reishi for the parasympathetic surrender of the evening. A long sigh, made edible.

A note from the maison.

We started PINKIES because we were tired of supplements that performed and tasted like medicine. We wanted something that performed and tasted like a small, daily kindness. So we made it — slowly, in small batches, in a brass-cornered atelier in California.

This volume is the fourth. Each issue we test what we make, refine it, publish what we find, and ship the result in a small box. If you have been with us since Vol. I, thank you. If this is your first issue, welcome. Take it slowly. The shift, when it comes, is real.

— Yours, the Maison
