Experience the vibrant, restorative energy of the West Coast wilderness in a single cup. This lively wild herbal blend draws from the forests, bogs, and open meadows of British Columbia, bringing together three powerful botanicals hand-harvested at the peak of their season to create an infusion as invigorating as a breath of coastal air.
Ingredients: Douglas Fir Tips (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Sweet gale leaves (Myrica gale), Rose hips (Rosa nutkana).
All wild foraged ingredients.
A VIBRANT WILD HERBAL TONIC FROM THE COAST
From the sun-warmed slopes where Douglas fir stretches toward the sky, to the bog edges and coastal meadows where sweet gale and wild rose thrive, this blend captures the most energizing corners of the Vancouver Island landscape. Douglas fir tips, harvested in spring when the new growth is at its brightest, bring a crisp citrusy freshness entirely unique to the Pacific Northwest. Rose hips — the jewel-bright autumn fruits of the wild Nootka rose — add a tangy, vitamin-rich depth that warms from the inside out. Sweet gale weaves through the blend with its distinctive aromatic warmth, faintly spiced and deeply grounding.
The result is a tonic in the truest sense: bright, restorative, and alive with the energy of the wild coast.
BREWING PARAMETERS
- Quantity: Use one tea bag per 250 ml (about 8 oz) of water. This ratio ensures that each cup is rich in flavor and aroma, capturing the full essence of the wild botanicals.
- Water Temperature: Heat water to 90°C to 95°C (194°F to 203°F). This temperature range is ideal for extracting the delicate flavors of the herbal ingredients without scalding them, preserving their natural oils and beneficial properties.
- Steeping Time: Steep for 7 to 8 minutes. Allowing the tea to steep for this duration ensures a perfect balance between strength and subtlety, allowing the complex flavors and aromas of the wild botanicals to fully develop.
Please note that our pyramid bags are made from compostable materials and can be disposed of in your compost bin, where industrial composting facilities are available.

After trying these guys out at the Shipyards Christmas market, I had to order a box of goodies. Products arrived safe and sound, wrapped with care, and delicious as ever.
