Notes from Michael Pataran, Executive Chef at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort:

“I didn't want to use a stronger black tea. Jasmine lends itself well because it’s such a mild, neutral flavor – you can impart it and it’s hard to overdo.”

Tentacles & Tea: Octopus Marinade and Terrine Recipe

A matcha glazed octopus terrine dances over shiso and wakame purée while tea-smoked octopus rests over a bed of of squid ink soba, an interplay of two lovers on a plate.

Symbolizing an old world romance, the octopus is seen in art and fables across the world. With the gentle fragrance of smoked Floral Jasmine Green tea, and subtlety of a matcha glaze, the gentle aroma of jasmine fluidly winds its way through our senses, dancing first upon the nose, aroma creating flavor for the palate to experience.
