COOKING WITH TEA

Seeing Scarlet

The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Dessert Seeing Scarlet is Chef Christine Yen’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Imperial Oolong + Pantone 1945C + Mood: Sophisticated.

THE TEA MOOD
SOPHISTICATED

What a perfect match for the sophisticated palate of Organic Imperial Oolong with its estate leaves, hand-picked at dawn to capture flavor at its peak.

THE MUSE
DRAGON

The Dragon signifies noble strength and imperial power while its red hue is associated with the Fire element.

THE COLOR
PANTONE 1945 C

“Elegant, cultivated, rich and refined, this deep red tone conveys luxury, power and tradition.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“Asian pear is poached in pomegranate juice to achieve that vibrant red hue and to create a mood of sophistication. The tartness of the fruit also worked perfectly with the Organic Imperial Oolong simple syrup, bringing out the honey notes in the poaching liquid.”

— Chef Christine Yen

Seeing Scarlet

“I thought notes of vanilla bean would pair nicely with the sweet palate of Organic Imperial Oolong. Then I used pomegranate juice when poaching the Asian pear, producing a rich ruby color and a tartness to complement the tea.”
