Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“How is it bold? The textures. You have the crunchiness. You have the silkiness. You have the creaminess of the sauce. And then there's the earthiness— I tried to make a garden. We make a dirt made of Mexican blue corn. That was my inspiration.”

— Diego Oka, Executive Chef at Mandarin Oriental, Miami

“We created umami with the Organic English Breakfast tea as foam, then formed 'earth' and 'dirt' with Mexican blue corn tortilla. Add in blue crab and a salad of fava beans and piquillo peppers. Then dress it all in Peruvian Aji Amarillo sauce— bold.”
