Purple Haze

COOKING WITH TEA

A Purple Haze

The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Entrée A Purple Haze is TEALEAVES Icon and Executive Chef Daniel Schick's creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Earl Grey with Lavender + Pantone 7677C + Mood: Enchanted.


THE TEA MOOD
ENCHANTED

This image mirrors the uplifting, mood-enhancing, happy notes of natural bergamot oil in Organic Earl Grey.

THE MUSE
BUTTERFLY

Butterflies have a long association with personal transformation, playfulness, finding joy in life and the lightness of being.

THE COLOR
PANTONE 7677 C

“A fascinating dichotomy of meditative blue and explosive red, this intriguing purple hue is magical and non-conforming.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“During summer in France, you see lavender everywhere, swaying in the wind. Absolutely enchanting. So we wanted to replicate that, to create a savory dish featuring the lavender color and notes of the Organic Earl Grey with Lavender.”

— Daniel Schick, Executive Chef at Omni King Edward Hotel

A Purple Haze

“Lavender is in each bite of this dish. We smoked the duck with Organic Earl Grey with Lavender, added in a few pinches of lavender to the duck confit and tomato tartare. Even in the savory blueberry jam, lavender honey was our choice of ingredient.”

- Executive Chef Daniel Schick
