this was only a interesting story for the press and a rumour ;)

they wrote about his great-grandmother "pearl", married with a native american man and had a recipe of a hallucinogen tea. other magazines wrote about his "native american" great-grandmother. but she didnt was.

the other theory was, one of the band members like the name "pearl" and their are "jamming" at this time.

but vedder neves gives a true background story to this name pearl jam. he was only joking at the interviews.

sure, magda take some "things" into the tea, it makes the tea more "interesting"....hrhr - in germany, gabriel ananda also drinks (because of his roots) some tea before he gigs.

perhaps they understand the true meaning to this old tradition.
but nobody knows the ingredients ;)
you also can make a weed tea or with some other herbage.

but only believe in things, you really know ;)

Interview from Sound Revolt:

Sound Revolt: Have you seen those t-shirts saying “Magda make the tea”? How did it all started?

Magda: How can I not see them? People wear them everywhere I go! There’s a guy from Detroit who came and did an article about what’s happening with Rich and Berlin. But the way he wrote his article was... like not about us at all. This “swanky apartment” and “minimal restaurants” – it’s ridiculous. He focused on those things instead of writing about what’s really going on. But I don’t think he did it intentionally. If I read this article I’d think like “God, what the fucking losers they are!” but press is really like that a lot. I knew that something was going to happen. And happened this Ubercoolische site (www.ubercoolische.com - SR). Well... it is totally fucked up and at the same time very funny. But I couldn’t figure out whether these guys really were serious and hated us, and we obviously were curious who did it. And then turned out they booked me, so they really like what we do. Anyway, I’m getting e-mails from all over the world “have you seen this?” I didn’t really read the whole thing but I guess I’m the tea maker, like servant. I met those guys from Ubercoolische in London and they’re really nice. All the money they make out of selling those t-shirts goes to charity. At least it’s what they say [laughs].

Sound Revolt: I saw a picture with you holding a kettle. This was before or after?

Magda: This was after, of course. This was in Belgium and there was a guy who brought a kettle to the DJ booth.

I would buy those t-shirts if they weren't printed by cafépress... I will make my own ! I think it's funny because most people do not understand the shirt or its message...
