Geek Steep S3E9 – The Matrix

Gongfu!

This is what I drank while watching the movie!

It’s made from Quebec harvested willowherb, which is then processed as if it were Camellia Sinensis – not unlike the “tea” produced by Ivan Chai! I first came across this company at festival du the and I was really impressed with the samples I tried. Though the infusions are definitely discernable from true Camellia Sinensis, I find this quite enjoyable. The liquor is fairly full bodied and rich with syrupy notes of raisins and red berries to support more seaweed-esque and vegetal herbaceous undertones and a light but persistently present woodiness.

Though what I drank was processed as black tea, Artisan du Vivant also carries willowherb processed as other teas as well; their specialty is oolong. Definitely a really unique experience that plays with the mind a little bit; maybe that was one of the several factors that made this feel like a really nice pairing for yesterday’s viewing of The Matrix!!
