“Mother Henriot’s Elixir is an Absinthe Tea. You heard me right. Absinthe. The evil brew featured in Moulin Rouge. The scourge of the gay ‘90’s. Oscar Wilde’s downfall and Public Enemy Number One of the Abolition Era. The mysterious and ritual alcoholic drink called La Fee Vert or the Green Fairy was banned worldwide by 1915 and has only been legal again in the US for a few years. Today it is still rare and still steeped in myth and superstition. It is also steeped in tradition, folklore and all of this is why we are creating our own Absinthe Tea.”

Kate is a good friend of ours and one of the most generous and creative people we know. She regularly opens her home to our art community with these incredible dinners where everything is handmade from family recipes and half the world’s cultures are represented food wise. She also works the local farmer’s markets selling her own tea blends and spice collections. Now she’s branching out with this absinthe tea recipe that comes down quite a few generations in her family. It has its own tea ceremony, its own unique way of steeping and preparing a cup just as you would if you were having your glass of absinthe. We’ve been to her tea tasting party, it was awesome.
An order to have a good go of this and offer her tea properly, Kate needs proper use of a licensed kitchen, packaging and branding, and all those things that come with marketing your wares. This kickstarter project is an effort to get the foundation of those funds. Kate is one of the nicest and most generous humans to be found and she works very hard twenty-four seven. So please, even if you can’t pitch in, blog about her tea, reblog this wonderful piece of art of hers and the information about the Absinthe Tea, anything.
