Mixologist's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood
“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.”
— Herbert Yuen, Assistant Outlet Manager at Andaz West Hollywood
Dreams of Sunset
“With the tangerine peel and the Five Spice powder, you get a big bouquet of smells right when you first sip it. Then, mouthfeel of the egg white smooths out the strong aromas to create an imaginative mood.”
- Herbert Yuen
