Meet Moksh Chai: Authentic Chai Bringing Indian Wellness Traditions to Donegal
When Jacqueline O’Donnell arrived in Ireland from Melbourne’s renowned café culture, she discovered something was missing from the local wellness…
When a chef of many years sets out to create wholesome treats that taste delicious, the result is something special: RUA’s artisan granola, where culinary expertise meets mindful nutrition in every carefully crafted bite.
RUA creates premium artisan granola that combines professional kitchen expertise with wholesome nutrition. Their signature Nutty Toasted Granola is an award-winning blend that delivers both exceptional flavour and nutritional value. Furthermore, each batch reflects chef Alice Tevlin’s professional standards applied to everyday wellness foods, creating something that feels both luxurious and nourishing.
Alice Tevlin founded RUA with a clear mission: to craft nourishing treats that delight the senses without compromising on quality or integrity. Drawing on her extensive experience as a professional chef, Alice wanted to create something different in the wellness food space.
“We create wildly delicious, chef-crafted snacks that nourish body and soul,” Alice explains. “Our mission is to turn everyday moments into little luxuries through thoughtful ingredients, sustainable values, and a touch of Irish fire.”
Moreover, RUA’s vision is ambitious yet heartfelt: to become Ireland’s most trusted name in naturally indulgent treats. They create every product with mindful eaters in mind, blending nature’s finest ingredients with a touch of indulgence. Consequently, customers can savour every bite, every day, without guilt.
The Wellness Pantry stocks RUA’s signature Nutty Toasted Granola, an award-winning creation that showcases Alice’s chef-trained approach to wholesome food. This isn’t ordinary granola – instead, it’s a carefully balanced blend that delivers both nutritional value and the kind of rich, satisfying flavours that keep customers coming back.
The granola represents everything RUA stands for: chef-crafted quality, thoughtful ingredient selection, and the perfect balance between nourishment and indulgence. Each batch reflects Alice’s professional kitchen standards applied to everyday wellness foods, creating something that feels both luxurious and wholesome.
Whether enjoyed with your morning coffee, sprinkled over yoghurt, or eaten straight from the bag as a satisfying snack, the Nutty Toasted Granola transforms simple moments into small daily luxuries.
For Alice, wellness is found in life’s quieter, more connected moments. “Something you come back to again and again to help you feel nurtured in both body and mind,” she describes. “A quiet coffee in the morning, petting a dog, going for a walk or working your body hard in the gym.”
This philosophy shapes RUA’s approach to food: creating products that support these nurturing moments whilst delivering genuine nutritional value. Therefore, it’s about finding joy and nourishment in everyday experiences, whether that’s the first spoonful of granola with morning coffee or the satisfaction of a wholesome snack after exercise.
Alice’s wellness tip for The Wellness Pantry community reflects this mindful approach: “Try to put your phone down. This is something I am trying to do at the moment. I recently joined my library and every time I feel the itch to pick up my phone, I read a few pages of my book. I do not succeed every time but it still feels like progress.”
This honest, gentle approach to wellness perfectly captures RUA’s philosophy: progress over perfection, mindfulness over restriction, and finding joy in small, sustainable changes.
To customers who choose RUA at The Wellness Pantry, Alice’s message is simple and heartfelt: “Thank you!” This gratitude reflects the genuine appreciation for customers who support chef-crafted, sustainable food choices.
