CHALIPAEI Saffron may be a modern business, but its roots stretch back hundreds of years. Those roots supply a thread that carry CHALIPAEI family, back to the ARDEBIL province of the Middle East – home to her ancestors. Most notably, home to Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, a great scientist and scholar fortunate enough to live through and witness The Golden Age of progress in the region.
Just as CHALIPAEI felt inspired by stories of al-Tusi, told to her by her grandmother over cups of golden saffron tea, so al-Tusi was inspired by others. Not least Avicenna (Ibn Sina) now recognised as the father of modern medicine and writer of many medical encyclopaedias.
