Full and strong with a wine-like finish.
Saskatoons (Amelanchier Alnifolia) are purplish-blue berries grown on a deciduous shrub-type bush in Saskatchewan. The derivation of Saskatoons comes from the Cree noun Mis-sask-quah-toomina. The Aboriginals used saskatoons as an important food and today, Canadians enjoy the sweet, nutty berries for baking, jams and even wine.
These berries are starting to become known as SUPERFOODs: rich in fiber, and a good source of calcium, potassium, carotene, magnesium, iron, and vitamin C. We use these important berries for their strong antioxidants, flavonols and polyphenols.
"We use some of the teas for smoking our food products and the flavor they pick up is great, especially the combination of Pear and Berry with our Duck Breast." - ICON Calvin Belknap
