Earthy, crisp, resinous, fruit-kissed, and deeply warming, Solstice Pine is a tea for fortifying the body, honoring the elders (human and tree), and remembering that life persists, even in stillness.
Bay and myrtle add to the complex woodiness of pine, while cardamom, cinnamon, and orange peel bring warmth and gentle circulation. Rose hips and elderberries round the cup with tart brightness and immune support.
Solstice Pine is an exclusive blend for the winter solstice season featuring white pine needles gathered in Arkwright, NY by a dear friend. White Pine is known as an elder tree, long revered as food, medicine, and protector. Across Indigenous, European, and early American traditions, white pine was turned to in times of scarcity: brewed to prevent scurvy, to strengthen the lungs, fend off illness, and sustain the body through winter’s darkest days.
Winter is when the needles of pine hold their highest concentration of vitamin C, making them one of the few nourishing medicines available when the land appears frozen and asleep. This tea is an act of wintering, and of listening to what endures in the stillness.
Decaffeinated.

Brewing Instructions
Herbal Teas: Brew 1-2 tbsp of loose tea per 1 cup of boiling water. Cover and steep for at least 10 minutes. For teas that contain roots or bark, steep time should be at least 15 minutes to achieve full flavor.
Unlike traditional camellia sinensis teas, herbal teas can and should be left to sit in the water. This will release even more benefits of the herbs, as well as other layers of flavor. Herbal teas may be re-steeped and enjoyed 2-4x.
Black Teas: Brew 1 tbsp tea with 1 cup of 200–212°F water. Steep for 4-5 minutes.
Green & White Teas: Brew 1 tbsp tea with 1 cup of 175-185°F water. Steep for 3-4 minutes for green tea, and 2-3 minutes for white tea.
