COOKING WITH TEA

Balancing Act

The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Entrée Balancing Act is Tealeaves ICON and Executive Chef Cyrille Pannier’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Chamomile Blossoms + Pantone 116C + Mood: Calm.

THE TEA MOOD
CALM

Organic Chamomile Blossoms’ tranquil qualities help the body unwind.

THE MUSE
BEE

Carefree days filled with calm and comfort evokes the nostalgia of lying in a field, the gentle hum of bees happily drifting by with golden treasures.

THE COLOR
PANTONE 116 C

“Sparkling with optimism, this warm and engaging yellow provides hope and comfort.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“For me, calmness in mood naturally goes with lightness in taste. Hence the lack of oil, the vinaigrette, the orange Organic Chamomile Blossoms jelly. Eating this, with a panoramic view of the ocean... that’s it. That’s calm.”

— Cyrille Pannier, Executive Chef at Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills

Balancing Act

“We used both Organic Chamomile Blossoms and fresh chamomile blossoms.The vinaigrette was infused with chamomile. There's a chamomile jelly shot with a bit of lemon, honey, ginger— a nice bite when paired with the salad. In this dish, balance was key."
