Tsega Abate

Tsega has been a Flavor Guru since 2018 and is loving every minute of it! “It’s as good as you imagine, with many pints of ice cream consumed, allowing flavor creativity to flow,” she says. Before becoming a part of the Ben & Jerry’s family, she worked in the beverage industry, where she created new flavors for tea and herbal infusions. We’re pretty sure she came to Ben & Jerry’s because there wasn’t enough chocolate in the tea world. After all, her favorite flavor is Chocolate Fudge Brownie, the chocolatiest chocolate flavor out there. (Although, to be fair, she says she hasn’t met a Ben & Jerry’s flavor she doesn’t like yet, so maybe it’s about more than just chocolate.) For all the prospective Flavor Gurus out there, her advice is, “Take note of every flavor you enjoy now and make it happen in Ben & Jerry’s format.” Wise words from a true flavor expert.
