GREEN TEA CHARTREUSE GIMLET

The Benzaiten tea cocktail is Fairmont Pacific Rim’s creation, blending TEALEAVES Organic Long Life Green + Pantone 349C + Mood: Enlightened.

THE TEA MOOD
ENLIGHTENED

Antioxidant-rich Organic Long Life Green supports health and inspires balance in a fast-paced world.

THE MUSE
KOI

Koi have great longevity. Their graceful, circular-swim motion symbolizes that all things in life are connected and together, create balance.

THE COLOR
PANTONE 349 C

“This lush green shade enhances our sense of well-being by inspiring insight and promoting harmony.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Mixologist's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“Organic Long Life Green means good for the body, while enlightenment means good for the soul. So I wanted to go for a green color without using anything artificial, which brought me to cucumber, lime juice and Chartreuse liqueur.”

— Grant Sceney, Lead Mixologist at Fairmont Pacific Rim

Benzaiten

Inspired by the Goddess of eloquence and everything that flows, blending the subtlety of Organic Long Life Green, welcoming the path forward.

“I wanted to preserve the subtlety of Organic Long Life Green and create the mood of Enlightenment. So I infused gin with the tea and complemented the light notes with a rosemary cucumber syrup. Then lime juice for acidity and some chartreuse for color.”

— Grant Sceney
