COOKING WITH TEA

Celebration of Summer

The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Entrée Celebration of Summer is Tealeaves ICON and Executive Chef Shaun Hergatt’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Vanilla Rooibos + Pantone 714C + Mood: Imaginative.

Notes from Shaun Hergatt, Owner & Executive Chef at Juni:

“We composed this dish with Organic Vanilla Rooibos as the centerpiece, rather than a garnish, by transforming its texture and adding gelatin to achieve a fuller body.”

Celebration of Summer

“We composed this dish with Organic Vanilla Rooibos as the centerpiece, rather than a garnish, by transforming its texture and adding gelatin to achieve a fuller body. We then gave it a touch of saffron, for a slight twist to the blend flavor profile.” - Shaun Hergatt, Owner & Executive Chef at Juni
