Chef's Notes:
blending tea, color, and mood

“How can I make something creative and dynamic? What it came down to was the Organic Vanilla Rooibos jelly, the varying textures, the range of flavors, the gradient of orange. These elements fuse together to spark an imaginative mood.”

The Ingredients
The Ingredients

“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.”

Symbolism of the Phoenix:

Both Phoenix and the rooibos plant rise from earth to sun, evoking renewal. Organic Vanilla Rooibos, with its high vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content, restores the body and inspires the senses to soar.

“Against the rising sun, an immortal feather floats. An auspicious sign of rebirth and renewal. Well-being and longevity for generations to come.”
