Wow I’m in awe at this tea. Pine is one of my favourite scents so when I saw this at the Tea Festival I was super excited for it. In the bag, douglas fir needles intermingle with loose strands of green tea leaves. As I draw the cup to my lips, the aroma of west coast pine pairs beautifully with the delicate green tea flavour. Although pine is a new flavour to me and I’d normally frown at the idea of drinking twigs or needles from a tree, it works wonderfully in this tea. There’s an amazing woodsy flavour to it that evokes a stroll through the forest. I’m in love with this wonderfully unique experience and have made a new spot for it in my top tier of teas dropping Cardamom French Toast down to a 94.

Preparation
A fair-trade, organic, British Columbian (!!!) tea that epitomises the best of jasmine greens, to me. This is so delicate, yet very, very floral, but not to the point that it makes it bitter. (No matter how long I let it steep, it didn’t go very bitter at all)
You could taste the smooth body of the green and the lightness of the jasmine mingling together on your palate. After drinking this, I felt so, so refreshed and inspired. The scent of jasmine still lingers on the tea bag package, and it has been a few days since I opened it up (I saved the bag for the company name).
Lovely, lovely. Definitely recommend!
Interesting! I imagine pine to taste quite medicinal?
Definitely! Wild and old-world medicinal.
Yeah! I can’t imagine liking that but I’m sure a person can develop a taste for it.
