Description
- [ Natural Wild Dried Pine Needles ]- Pine needle tea is an herbal tea made by brewing the needles of pine trees (particularly Eastern white pine) to make a flavorful hot beverage. Our each pine needle is harvested from high mountains that away from any pollution and artificial chemicals, these pine needles are dried naturally and cut into the tiny to ensure a fresh and original taste after brewing.
- [ Delicious Tea - Definitely Add Lemon and Honey! ] - Brew one pine needle tea bag per mug and it is perfect with juice squeezed from one fresh lemon, a few teaspoons of honey or one packet of stevia. A cup of pine needles might sound odd to some, but it is really worth giving a chance.
- [ Need to Steep Longer ]- Boil water, then add a pine needle bag, let it soak in boiling water, steep for 5 to 20 minutes, and it will add a crisp pine smell all over the house. Perfect for Christmas. The longer you steep, the more stronger the flavor will be, if desired. So it is transparent in color first, but the longer, the tea will turn a pale green with a light piney smell and pleasant taste.
- [ Notice & Guarantee ]- Dont boil them. Boiling not only destroys tea, but also releases more terpenes -- the organic compounds that make pine smell like pine--making more of a turpentine-like tea. If you are not happy with our tea, just please text us with money back guarantee.
Pine tree tea is an herbal tea made by steeping the needles of pine trees, particularly the Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) in hot water to make a flavorful hot beverage.
Our organic pine needle tea is made by harvesting white pine needles and soaking them for about 24 hours. Then, they are rinsed, cleaned, and trimmed to remove any sharp tips before drying them in a shaded area.
How to brew it:
Take out a pine needle tea bag brew with about freshly boiled water and steep for at least 5 minutes then drink and enjoy (hot or cold). It is transparent in color, or perhaps slightly tinged with green. Its flavor is described variously as piney, resinous, astringent, and citrusy, with undertones of mint. Older pine needles tend to taste more bitter and tannic than young ones. The longer you steep, the more stronger the flavor will be. Sweeten with sugar or honey, and flavor with fresh lemon, if desired.
Does that mean older needles are best for pine needle tea?
No. If youre after taste, older needles make a stronger, bitter, more piney tasting tea. If you want a milder, more delicate tea, look for brighter green young pine needles.
