Dreams of Sunset
The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Cocktail Dreams of Sunset is Tealeaves ICON and Assistant Outlet Manager Herbert Yuen’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Vanilla Rooibos + Pantone 714C + Mood: Imaginative.
Notes from Herbert Yuen, Assistant Outlet Manager at Andaz West Hollywood:
“When the Organic Vanilla Rooibos cocktail is first poured into the glass, everything is a single orange color. Once the drink settles and separates, the top layer of foam and egg white makes me think of cloud nine, triggering my imagination.”
