Tate Shimmer CosmopoliTEAn

We are thrilled to be working with the Tate to create a custom blend inspired by the work of Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama to complement her Infinity Mirror Rooms exhibition.

Shimmer is a super sparkly blend. Packed full of cherries that brews a pinky red and smells & tastes just like cherry pie. It also contains gold sprinkles that shimmer when brewed. The blend can be enjoyed iced, hot or cold brewed and can even be enjoyed with a splash of coconut milk.

The blend is sold in their gift shops in unique cube packaging inspired by Kusama’s designs, as well as being served in the Tate restaurant as a cocktail as part of their dining experience based on her work, find the recipe below!

The shimmer tea can also be enjoyed hot, as a lovely warming cuppa too.

You can try the Tate Modern’s limited edition Shimmer CosmopoliTEAn, as part of their dining experience based on her work until the end of the exhibition, and also purchase the blend in the TATE store as well.
