Today, luxury tea blender, TEALEAVES and Pantone Color Institute proudly introduce the Pantone Color of the Year 2020 Tea Blend in PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, in celebration of the rich symbolism associated with the color. In a new approach to the program, this collaboration introduces a multi-sensory and immersive connection to the color experience, bringing TEALEAVES' experience in the art of blending to express Classic Blue through aroma and taste. 'Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color, PANTONE 19-4052, Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge,' noted Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. 'A reflective blue tone, Classic Blue fosters resilience.' The exclusive custom blend created by the TEALEAVES Master Blenders, is an elegant and expansive melange of the highest grade botanicals featuring deep berry and subtle citrus notes. With its alluring blue liqueur, the tea evokes a strong sense of wellness and self-care, like foods rich in anthocyanins, acting as a form of protection for good health. 'We have had the pleasure of being long-time partners of Pantone,' says Lana Sutherland, TEALEAVES' Co-Founder and CEO. 'Inspired by the elegant simplicity of this blue hue, we created a tranquil herbal blend which speaks to well-being and connection. The tea blend that we have created is the epitome of a palate expression of the Classic Blue; a boundless, dependable and optimistic blend. After countless hours spent blending, we are tremendously pleased with the result.' 'The Pantone Color of the Year highlights the relationship between trends in color and what is taking place in our global culture at a moment in time, a color that reflects what individuals feel they need that color can hope to answer,' says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. As we cross the threshold into a new era, Pantone's sophisticated color forecasting suggests that we will be connecting to color in new, less conventional ways. In the midst of calls for greater transparency, openness and altruism, and as technology continues to race ahead of the human ability to process it all, we are gravitating to colors that are honest and offer the promise of protection. These ideals converge at the intersection of inclusivity and wellness. Through the year, we will see more brands following in the footsteps of Pantone and TEALEAVES, seeking to inspire emotionality in their products, leveraging the Classic Blue. 'The Pantone Color of the Year program is about connecting the power of color with the human experience, which TEALEAVES embodies in their approach to the art of blending,' says Laurie Pressman, Vice-President of Pantone Color Institute. 'Through this partnership, we are pleased to create a multisensory palate experience to bring the Pantone Color of the Year 2020 to life, allowing everyone the opportunity to engage in their own unique way.'

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.

Lovestruck/by Odalys Nanin and Marie Barrientos/directed by Odalys Nanin/Zephyr Theatre/CLOSED Benefit performances of this sparkling play Lovestruck by Odalys Nanin and Marie Barrientos were held August 16, 17 and 18 to sold out audiences at the Zephyr Theatre on Melrose in Hollywood. It is one of Macha Theatre's most popular plays alongside Garbo's Cuban Lover and Frida Stroke of Passion, one that is often requested. Perhaps because it is about romance, in this case between two women, a Cuban named Laura (Odalys Nanin) and the other American by the name of Rachel (Tricia Cruz). It is a winner in my book because it zips along with a serious look at the ups and downs of a relationship but never without a glorious sense of humor.
