BAIES DE MONTAGNE

A fruity blend of Saskatoon berries, currants, hibiscus, rosehips, seneka root, blueberries, cranberries, apple pieces, flower petals, and herbs.

The water tumbles over itself in its eagerness to fill the vessel. Caught in the water’s passion, the berries and leaves spin and dance, slowing gradually. A hue of light pink languidly swells before deepening to a ruby red. Steam rises from the surface, spreading fragrant bliss.

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.

"The high quality of the products makes working with the teas easy. We cover the spectrum from cocktails to desserts, including a Pear Tree Green tea martini, crème anglaise infusions, crème brûlées or sorbets like Mountain Berry."- ICON Vincent Parkinson

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!
