by BWW News Desk - April 06, 2019
The Pop House, Tulsa's premier craft ice pops company, is adding its newest location to the city's most vibrant and promising mixed-use area: Meadow Gold District. The Pop House was established in 2016 with a mission to bring delicious ice pops to people all around the state of Oklahoma through a variety of exclusive flavors that include strawberry lemonade, watermelon mint, orange strawberry banana, chocolate sea salt, birthday cake, and more. Shortly after winning the grand prize at the 2016 Tulsa Start-Up Series, the first storefront was opened in 2017 on Brookside at 37th & Peoria. Since then, The Pop House has also emerged its products into several Downtown Tulsa area locations including Goods Bodega (Arts District) and Decopolis (Deco District). 'Route 66 is a pillar of the Tulsa community and we are thrilled with the opportunity to join the Meadow Gold District with a location at Buck Atom's Cosmic Curios this summer,' says Chris Davis, owner of The Pop House. 'The Mother Road is an American icon, and we are proud to serve travelers and Tulsan's there as they cruise down this legendary stretch and pay a visit to the man of the hour - Buck Atom."

The addition of Pop House is yet another example of how Meadow Gold District is continuing to grow and provide room for small businesses in Tulsa with an interest in becoming part of the unique, historic Route 66 redevelopment scope that is set out for this area along 11th Street between Peoria and Utica.

World-Renowned Chefs and Mixologists Are Reinventing the Sensory Palate Experience Through the Forgotten Sense: Aroma. Their Secret Ingredient? Tea.
by BWW News Desk - April 04, 2019
The tea brand of choice for five-star hotels and Michelin chefs worldwide, TEALEAVES, in collaboration with Microsoft Design and 14 Luxury Hotels, launched an online sensory experience that showcases the importance of aroma as an ingredient for a heightened food and drink experience, as well as a vehicle for self discovery and connection. Taking TEALEAVES' newly redesigned Classic Teabags as the muse, and the accompanying color selected by PANTONE, the exploration profiles the aroma and mood-inspired works of 17 world-renowned culinary, pastry and mixology artists. The exploration also includes a documentary, Language of Aroma, which features scent-branding experts, the inventor of a scent organ capable of helping depressed people, language creator from Game of Thrones and head coach of Bocuse D'Or Team USA. 'Aroma is a powerful trigger of memory; a brief whiff can create vivid, potent images in our mind, associated with a confluence of recollections,' says Lana Sutherland, CEO of TEALEAVES. 'This collaboration and online experience arose from our desire to create an elevated experience for our consumers, using our blending principles to connect on a deeper and much more emotional level. 'For this collaboration, we explored communicating this elusive sense through exploring the relationship between aroma and mood, connecting the personality, traditions and rituals inherent in each of our blends to a scent memory.' Intensifying flavor with tea-infused food and cocktail recipes. 'Aroma is the soul of any dish - eating without aroma is like eating without soul, it doesn't make sense,' says Executive Chef, Srijith Gopinath, of Taj Campton Place. Culinary and mixology artists have used TEALEAVES' teas in their repertoire of secret ingredients for more than two decades. At the world's most prestigious culinary competition, Bocuse D'Or teams have used TEALEAVES' teas to amplify the intensity of their creations. Why? Because according to Robert Sulatycky, Head Coach of Bocuse D'Or Team USA, 'It is aroma that is the difference between silver and gold.' TEALEAVES challenged chefs and mixologists to each create a recipe inspired by the mood, PANTONE color and aroma of one of TEALEAVES' newly redesigned Classic Teabags. The goal was for the dish to evoke the aromatic experience of drinking the tea, through a dish. The final product? Each creation was served as its PANTONE color, derived naturally from the ingredients alone, and featured a signature aromatic expression from smoke, to mist, to 'tea air' - a feast inclusive to all of the senses. 'We thought this challenge would shed light on the difficulty of designing for a sense that cannot be seen - how might an expert in the world of palate communicate the aroma of our blend?' Ms. Sutherland asks. To embark on this sensory exploration visit, LanguageOfAroma.com This exploration is the second in a three part series by TEALEAVES entitled 'PALATE,' which explores the three main design elements of tea blending: Color, Aroma and Taste. Language Of Aroma builds upon TEALEAVES' first exhibit on color, in collaboration with PANTONE: Palate for Your Palette, which was featured at SxSW 2017. Language of Aroma Events: SXSW 2019: Sunday March 10th Language of Aroma was selected for a panel at SXSW 2019 in Austin Texas, which brought together several experts featured in the film over a panel session to discuss inclusive design and the language of aroma.
