BAIS DE MONTAGNE

Saskatoon berries (native to Canada), currants, raisins, and blueberries. Full-bodied and bright, with the fragrant flavour of a berry melange.

Often on our hike near the river beds in Western Canada, we came across these shrubs clustered with berries. We stopped to watch a man engulf a handful of berries to quench his appetite, then filled our baskets with ingredients for a Saskatoon berry pie.

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

MASTER BLENDER TASTING NOTES

Fruit teas (tisanes) are a much healthier alternative to the sugary drinks on the market these days – they are all-natural, caffeine-free, and have no added sweeteners.

Many of our hotel clients use this tisane as a martini - simply add 5 tbsp of tisane to a bottle of vodka, infuse for several days, and decant.
Add a splash of vermouth to the berry-infused vodka and enjoy!
