Stories Behind the Blend: Velvet Bliss
February, the month renowned for its delightful pairing of chocolate and strawberries, truly embodies the essence of indulgence. Can you think of a more perfect combination? Indeed, it's a match made in heaven!
As for believing in happy accidents, well, let me share a tale from the history of Piper and Leaf. Velvet Bliss was a mishap that led to the creation of one of our most loved seasonals. It all began amidst the hustle and bustle of blending a batch of Lemon Berry Blush. Through some mysterious twist of fate (or perhaps a playful sprinkle of fate's whimsy), a bit of cacao found its way into the mix – don't ask us how! In those early days of our business, even the smallest deviation felt monumental. Yet, undeterred, MaryClaire and Caleb embarked on a tasting adventure, hoping to salvage our inadvertent concoction.
To our astonishment, the accidental blend showed remarkable potential! Granted, it needed a fair bit of refinement and a dash of experimentation. That first batch, though modest in size, had a charm all its own. Despite its quirks, it captured the hearts (and taste buds) of our patrons. Encouraged by their enthusiasm, we embarked on a journey of transformation, diligently refining and augmenting the blend.
