Pine Needle Tea

$15.00

Wildcrafted White Pine Needle Tea (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc) from the Lesser Khingan Mountains, with crisp pine, resinous evergreen and bright citrus-like notes.

Brewing
  1. Pine Needle is best to crush/grind or blend to release everything properly due to its slightly hardy protective coating.
  2. For optimal results, place 2-3g in blender with hot water, blend until ground and let steep for 10 mins. Steeping/filtering afterwards is recommended.
  3. Steeping overnight is also a good option for Pine Needle to ensure everything is released.
