Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“The color is like the ocean. So I went from there. The chocolate decorations are the waves, the caramelized white chocolate dust is the sand. I wanted to evoke that serene sensation of lying on a deserted island.”

— Tova du Plessis, Pastry Chef at The Rittenhouse Philadelphia

The Relax Island

“I did a play on a floating island by poaching a meringue and creating a fresh berry consommé with the Relax blend. I decided to also make a lychee rose sorbet with candied violet, alongside a sand of caramelized white chocolate.”
