What is PARHARA?
An idea born of fascination, seeking its place in the world.
PARHARA is the little spot I've created where I can prepare all my creations for my fellow human beings and customers. The optimal foundation for PARHARA and its associated organisms was created through a wide variety of Mediterranean plants, local medicinal herbs, and exotic specialties such as the blue lotus, which I cultivate on my balcony.
Who is the founder?
Myself: Julian Parson! And, of course, my two house tigers, Mochi and Neferpitou!
They are proud co-founders and protectors of PARHARA.
My name (still) has no title, but due to a high interest in ancient studies, I am a prospective student in Salzburg.
In my childhood, I was often in Egypt and was fascinated every single time. A connection quickly developed with the country and its people. At that time, I didn't yet realize the knowledge that ancient Egyptian high culture possessed. I myself have Iranian roots, but my thoughts have always been drawn to Egypt. Through intensive research in internet archives, using the Papyrus Ebers, De Materia Medica, the Coffin Texts, and Pyramid and Temple Texts, I was able to investigate the most important ingredients and their active substances.
What is the goal?
Bringing people happiness and joy through targeted homeopathy and phytotherapy in the form of tea and incense blends.
PARHARA is not just for my fellow human beings and customers; it also serves me in my own further education and in discovering all information about ancient Egyptian healing arts. By constantly cultivating exotic plants, I can create a wide variety of highly effective tea blends. And that's what I'm passionate about. The tannins, polyphenols, essential oils, flavonoids, and other ingredients are a true gift of nature, and these should be appreciated and utilized without harming nature in the process.
What is the inspiration?
Many different aspects. From fiction to the lifestyle of ancient Egyptians. Before I started drinking tea, I always made myself a cup of coffee as a teenager, partly for the caffeine. Here I must give an honorable mention to the animated series: "Avatar: The Last Airbender". This series was my top favorite since childhood. Especially the character "Uncle Iroh", with his powerful calm and serenity, holds a special place in my heart. Through his love for tea, I discovered tea as a teenager, especially jasmine tea! Through the subtle, small messages that Uncle Iroh subtly tried to convey to the viewers in the series, to learn and maintain a similar calmness in the present, and that makes me appreciate it all the more.
By the way: certain types of tea contain significantly more caffeine per gram than coffee!
