Product description 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.Don’t boil them. Boiling not only destroys vitamin C, but also releases more terpenes -- the organic compounds that make pine smell like pine--making more of a turpentine-like tea.Does that mean older needles are best for pine needle tea?No. If you’re 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.
