Supper That Sustains Us: A Seasonal Experience by Chef Tyler Lee

A Supper That Sustains Us is our monthly celebration of the farmers, foragers, makers, and purveyors who shape the flavor and integrity of our region. Each month, we partner with a different local producer whose work reflects the values at the heart of 1 Kitchen: respect for the land, responsible stewardship, and food that’s rooted in place. Through a limited-edition tasting menu and signature dishes available each month, we tell the story of how these partners grow, raise, harvest, and craft with intention — and how their dedication allows us to cook with deeper purpose. This series is more than a meal; it’s an invitation to taste the impact of local, sustainable, relationship-driven food systems, one partner at a time.

JANUARY SPOTLIGHT: HIGH GARDEN TEA

"This January, A Supper That Sustains Us begins with High Garden Tea — herbcraft artisans whose work sits at the intersection of wildcrafting, ecological stewardship, and deep respect for the natural world. Their botanicals are grown or gathered with restraint, honoring biodiversity and regenerative cycles, and inspiring our chefs to use tea not simply as a beverage, but as a transformative culinary medium. Through a five-course winter ritual infused with High Garden’s healing teas and grounding roots, we explore aroma, minerality, smoke, and clarity in their purest form. This month’s menu honors the patience, intention, and ecosystem-minded craft that make High Garden a model for sustainable foodways — and the perfect partner to welcome a new year." - 1 Kitchen Executive Chef Tyler Lee
