COOKING WITH TEA

Organic Vanilla Rooibos Panna Cotta

The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Dessert Organic Vanilla Rooibos Panna Cotta is Pastry Chef Alex Abley’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Vanilla Rooibos + Pantone 714C + Mood: Imaginative.

THE TEA MOOD

IMAGINATIVE

Organic Vanilla Rooibos, with its high vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content, restores the body and inspires the senses to soar.

THE MUSE

PHOENIX

Both Phoenix and the rooibos plant rise from earth to sun, evoking renewal.

THE COLOR

PANTONE 714 C

“A welcoming shade that embraces, this happy and friendly orange is good natured in spirit and delicious in its appeal.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“I wanted the mood 'Imaginative' to come through in the plating. Then I deliberately chose ingredients that had that intense orange. As for the Organic Vanilla Rooibos, I wanted it to play a subdued role in the panna cotta, but also in use it in its raw form as a garnish.”

— Alex Abley, Pastry Chef at Railtown Cafe

Organic Vanilla Rooibos Panna Cotta

"I used Organic Vanilla Rooibos in the opaline, just in its raw form with cooked sugar. The blend infuses the sugar very delicately, imparting a toasted note to the garnish."
