Meet The Forager Behind Your Tea

📍Nakusp, BC

Foraged in the wild. Fermented by hand. Made right here in the Kootenays.

I'm Christine, the founder of Bush Berry, and for this Farm + Forage tea, I'm the forager.

Every summer, I head out into the wild landscapes around our home in the West Kootenays to gather fireweed at its peak. What starts as a beautiful local wildflower is transformed through a traditional fermentation process that brings out a completely different character in the leaves.

The result is a smooth, naturally earthy tea with a rich depth that you simply don't get from ordinary dried fireweed.

From the Wild to Your Cup - The Process

01 — Foraged
Fireweed is carefully gathered from local wild places when the plants are at their best.

02 — Fermented
The fresh leaves are gently worked and fermented by hand, allowing their flavour and colour to develop.

03 — Dried
The leaves are dried slowly and carefully to preserve their finished character.

04 — Packaged
Your tea is blended and packaged by Bush Berry in Nakusp, BC.

05 — Brewed by You
A little piece of the Kootenays, gathered by hand and steeped in your cup.
