Recently, The Chef’s Garden began collaborating with Rare Tea Cellar and BLiS Gourmet to create an unforgettable tasting experience. This box contains truly elegant ingredients typically associated with a world-class, restaurant-style offering—now shipped directly to your home.
The ingredients in the box are deliciously beautiful, no doubt, and this collaboration also highlights the importance of building and maintaining relationships with other people. Here’s more about the respect each of the collaborators has for the others involved.
“I first got to know Farmer Lee Jones and Jamie Simpson at a James Beard event in Chicago, held at Rare Tea Cellar,” says Sarah Sherman, vice president and director of operations of BLiS Gourmet. “We later collaborated on a dinner at the Culinary Vegetable Institute, and this box is a natural outgrowth of our relationship. It’s in the BLiS DNA to partner with like-minded companies, and we truly respect what The Chef’s Garden and Culinary Vegetable Institute stand for.”
Rodrick Markus, president and CEO of Rare Tea Cellar, Inc., agrees that a beautiful synergy exists among the participants, each contributing exceptional ingredients that aren’t easily found elsewhere. “Plus, we all speak the same language,” he says, “and what we’ve created provides a breath of fresh air for people wanting a luxury culinary experience.”
Elements of this Caviar Delivery Box
This one-of-a-kind home delivery box contains an ounce of Golden Kaluga Caviar from Rare Tea Cellar, along with an ounce each of Smoked Whitefish and Smoked Rainbow Trout Caviar. “Each of the smoked varieties,” Rodrick explains, “has been delicately cold smoked for 72 hours, long and slow, in a unique process.”
Meanwhile, Golden Kaluga Caviar is one of the world’s most exquisite gourmet foods, representing just half of one percent of all Kaluga varieties. One reason, of course, is its uniquely delicious flavor. Another reason, according to Rodrick, is that “no person can create that beautiful golden hue. This caviar comes from older sturgeons, and only nature can cause it to evolve to this wonderful color.”
Also included in the box are our freshly harvested, regeneratively farmed vegetables with the maximum flavor and the winner of the 2019 Best Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup at the National Craft Maple Syrup Festival: BLiS™ Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup.
To get a sense of what this tastes like, imagine the flavor of 100% pure maple syrup harvested from old-growth orchards in Michigan. Kettle-cooked, it’s then aged in 18-year-old, hand-selected Kentucky bourbon barrels. Then, it’s left to mature gently and naturally to create an elegant flavor with deep notes of bourbon, charred oak, and baking spice.
The aroma? Sweet. Delicate. Honey and vanilla.
This caviar delivery box also contains a buckwheat blini mix and squeeze bottle, and a crème fraiche recipe.

A Few Words About Home Delivery
In many ways, our world has been turned upside down in 2020, with our access to the restaurants we love being limited, if not completely unavailable. It’s only natural to miss the luscious foods we once had at our fingertips when we just needed to point at a menu and say, “That looks amazing. I’ll take that.”
Fortunately, this box fills in that gap in an incredibly delightful way. We invite you to order the Exquisite Caviar and Vegetable Experience box online today.
