Breathe deep and sip slowly.
A simple, forest-forward herbal tea made from freshly wildcrafted White Pine needles harvested in British Columbia and prepared in small batches. Light, earthy and unmistakably pine.
White pine. Nothing else.
White pine needles have long been gathered as a simple woodland infusion, appreciated for their fresh aroma, clean flavour and connection to the landscape they grow in.
This tea is intentionally uncomplicated — one ingredient, thoughtfully harvested and minimally processed to preserve its natural character.
Light, clean and quietly forested.
When steeped, White Pine produces a light, grounding cup with a clean pine aroma and subtle citrus-like brightness.
Harvested and prepared in small batches.
Fresh White Pine needles are wildcrafted in British Columbia, then air-dried and hand-packed to preserve their natural colour, aroma and character.
Pinus strobus — wildcrafted, air-dried and hand-packed.
Wildcrafted White Pine needle tea.
One tree. One simple cup.
100% wildcrafted White Pine needles, harvested in British Columbia, air-dried and hand-packed in small batches.
BOREAL BOTANICALS + RESEARCH
There’s more in these plants than flavour.
Across our evergreen and boreal teas, we work with forest botanicals including white spruce, black spruce, eastern white pine, lodgepole pine, Labrador tea and western red cedar. Modern research has identified naturally occurring phenolics, flavonoids, terpenes, ascorbate and other plant constituents across these species.
WHY WE SIMMER FOR AN HOUR
Don’t treat forest tea like ordinary tea.
Needles, bark and leathery boreal leaves are tougher plant materials than a conventional tea leaf. Research on forest botanicals shows that time and temperature influence hot-water extraction. That’s why our preparation uses the lowest gentle simmer for approximately one hour rather than a quick 10–15 minute steep — giving hot water much more time to work through the plant material.
