Here is a rarity produced at 1600m by a cooperative of farmers in a mountainous, sunny and humid environment, ideal for the cultivation of tea. Its strong, full-bodied liquor boasts malt and vegetal notes (tobacco, sweet pepper) typical of the assamica cultivars. Fine nuances of dried fruit, cocoa and spices (camphor) add to its breakfast character.

Geek Steep S3E5 – The Music of Disney
…and for my final paired I chose thing tea for Two Worlds from Tarzan!
To be honest I cheated a bit with this pairing because I actually ended up just watching the whole movie while drinking this tea. It was easy to do since this is the opening number for the movie – just a natural transition.
Tarzan is one of my favourite Disney movies, and honestly another underrated gem. Probably because it doesn’t have a princess in it, though Jane is pretty great. I think it may possibly have the best soundtrack of any Disney movie in terms of just encompassing the whole vibe of the movie. Having every song sung my Phil Collins (with the exception of Taking The Camp, which isn’t really sung by anyone) was a genius move. It’s also, I think, one of the few Disney movies with a soundtrack where it really is just a soundtrack and not musical numbers being sung by the characters. That allows it to bring in so much more instrumentals and pick apart at the emotions of the movie more than the normal Disney soundtrack which has to be more exposition heavy and drive the narrative further.
I thought Rwanda Rukeri was a great pairing because on top of being an African black tea it’s also very grounding yet bold and brisk. It didn’t feel right to pick something flavoured for this movie. I mean, I very nearly went with a banana tea but it felt cheap and tacky to me, and untrue to the heart of the movie. Plus, with such a richly evocative setting I just wanted something that mirrored that “wild but natural” kind of feel.
But just… the drums! The fucking drums!

I have never seen Tarzan. You make me want to watch it!
Paradise untouched by man! Within this wolrd blessed with love, a simple life, they live in peace. Considering how racist and problematic the original themes were for the short stories, Tarzan is one of the more carefully thought out adaptations.
