White Pine Needle Tea
The legend of the Eastern White Pine:
Delicious, sustainably foraged, abundant in this part of the world. The Eastern Pine is known as the "peace tree" to the Iroquois nation. In a tree planting ceremony Iroquois Chief Swamp stated this tree aids to provide us protection and represents our willingness to work together for peace. We hope that this tea will provide you with warmth, protection, and a little bit of inner peace in a crazy world. <3

How does it taste?
Out of all the pines, Eastern White Pine has the mildest flavor. The terpenes in the plant give it a really delicate & bright flavor. We love it with honey and lemon served hot or cold!
About me & wild crafting
My name is Ashley. I am 42 years young and consider myself a "helper" I come from a background in outdoor education, wilderness skills, community focused initiatives. I also love surfing and traveling.
I have always loved growing and foraging plants. I have tasted pine teas in the past and I started harvesting and making this Tea for family and friends this spring. I believe in this forest brew, and I also wanted to share this amazing local forest with you too. Wildcrafting is incredibly rewarding and also doing it sustainably takes time and it's important to not over harvest from these young plants or any plants when gathering. So the method is harvest lightly, send some appreciation to the plants and find new locations. I try and practice deep respect for the earth in this process mixed with alot of gratitude and wish that this tea will bring comfort to you in these times. xoxoxo
