ROOTS - 1883 Maison Routin

ROOTS EXPERIENCE

Roots… A primitive ritual, a dance with the elements. Grind, stil, smell, taste. Live the experience to be reconnected with the earth and its roots, and revistalised by the subtlety of baobab, the ‘tree of life’, and its herbaceous notes.

RITUAL

RECONNECT WITH THE EARTH.

TURN THE BOWL WITH ME,

PLACE YOUR HANDS,

FEEL THE SCENTS DEVELOP.

 

The baobab is the tree of life, the guardian of the past, present and future.

Here is the affogato, it is a milky ice cream made from 1883 Baobab Syrup to be melted or eaten with a spoon. The root is the anchor, taste and feel the acidic notes of the beet, the subtlety of the baobab and its herbal notes. Now break the clay crust and dip the beet cube marinated in 1883 Baobab Syrup and lemon juice then cooked in a clay crust in baobab water.

 

The earthiness is softened by the roundness of the baobab.
