Wild Foraged + Fermented Fireweed Tea
Wild Foraged + Fermented Fireweed Tea | Unique Organic Loose Leaf Tea
Discover the distinct flavor of our Wild Foraged + Fermented Fireweed Tea. Proudly and ethically harvested in the west Kootenay mountains of British Columbia in both May and mid-summer, This organic loose leaf tea is crafted from West Kootenay, wild foraged fireweed, harvested with care and precision, then fermented to create a rich and nuanced taste experience.
We harvest only the healthiest, mid stem, foliage and leave the rest of the plant, stem, leaves and flowers for our local bees and critters to enjoy. The leaves are then left to sit, and dry for a period before they are hand ground and then fermented in a warm room for a period of 18-24 hours. This stage is what releases the sweet oils and health benefits fireweed is known for. Once the fermentation is complete the tea is oven dried at low temperatures. The result is a sweet, honey taste similar to rooibos and tastes great hot or on ice.
Our fireweed tea offers a one-of-a-kind flavor profile with floral, earthy, and subtly sweet notes. The fermentation process enhances the depth of flavor and complexity, creating a truly special tea experience.
Fireweed is known for its potential health benefits and is internationally known for its adaptogen properties, tension release and stress-softening benefits also including soothing digestive discomfort and promoting relaxation. Enjoy a cup of this tea to experience its calming and rejuvenating effects.
Our tea is made from organic, wild foraged fireweed, handpicked in the west kootenay mountain and fermented to perfection. This small-batch, artisanal approach ensures the highest quality and freshness in every cup.
