This beautifully contorted tree is an old cashew / caju tree of the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanna). The fruit has two parts: (1) The cashew nut that most of us know and (2) the cashew apple, which has a very unique slightly sour, fibrous, & not too juice flavor that feels very refreshing. We have now spotted half a dozen trees on our land already. The trunk of this tree is just over a meter high and the thick branches make it comfortable to sit and feel embraced by this majestic tree.

About Hans Rippel
After having lived in six countries on four continents and traveled to over 40 countries on six continents, I now have come to see myself as a citizen of the world. In that spirit, I celebrate diversity and I am eager to continuously learn about myself and the world I live in. On my journey in life, I have obtained a B.A. in psychology with positive psychology as my main passion and interest as well as a minor in Religious Studies and a Buddhist Studies certificate. In addition, I am continuously exploring how to optimize mental and physical health to enhance the quality of life for both myself and the people around me. My interests include reading educational non-fiction books about psychology, physical health, sciences, philosophy, and religion. Among my hobbies, I enjoy playing squash, swimming, running, rock climbing, hiking, biking, and general physical exercise.
