Frequently Asked Questions
Why is pine needle tea so high in Vitamin C?
Pine needles contain concentrated levels of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) as part of the tree's natural defense system. Unlike citrus fruits that are seasonal, evergreen pine needles maintain their Vitamin C content year-round—making them an invaluable source of this essential nutrient, especially during winter when fresh produce is scarce.
What does pine needle tea taste like?
White pine needle tea has a pleasant, fresh, and mildly piney flavor with subtle citrus notes. It's aromatic and refreshing—not overpowering. Many people find it surprisingly enjoyable, especially with a touch of honey. The taste is reminiscent of walking through a forest after rain.
How often can I drink pine needle tea?
Most people can safely enjoy 1-3 cups of pine needle tea daily. During cold and flu season, or when you feel illness coming on, you may increase consumption temporarily. As with any herbal remedy, listen to your body and consult a healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns or are pregnant.
Is white pine the same as other pine varieties?
White pine (Pinus strobus) is among the safest and most commonly used species for tea. It has soft, flexible needles in bundles of five. Important: Not all pine species are safe for consumption. Avoid ponderosa pine, Norfolk Island pine, and yew (which is not a true pine). Our white pine is wild-harvested from verified, safe sources.
