The Douglas fir adapts to wherever it's planted, short and scraggly on a windswept bluff, or towering 90 metres over the rural-urban landscape further inland. Crush its soft green needles in your palm and you'll catch a surprising note of grapefruit. For a few short weeks each year, we harvest the bright new tips and bring them into the blend, alongside nettle (a West Coast plant you learn to respect fast) and a beautifully crisp black tea base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Hour, One Batch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is as small batch as it gets. One hour of hand harvesting and one hour of separating needle from stem yields roughly 100g of needles, enough for one micro (or, perhaps nano?) batch of finished tea. Typically available starting in July, the tea is available until the trees put their energy (and we put ours) elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA light to medium bodied amber liquor with notes of resin, citrus, florals, and a surprising sweetness.

Mine include \"hot iced tea.\" If you know, you know. For those who don't: warmed-up powdered iced tea, a very Canadian childhood staple I have since, thankfully, left behind. My taste has evolved, but my love of a little sweetness on a summer day never left. Inspired by BC's abundant cherry season and many mornings bird-watching my neighbour's cherry tree with a cup of tea in hand, Cherry Grove is the friendliest green tea I know. Light, full of the flavour of BC cherries, and made for easing into those slow summer days full of birdsong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Iced Tea Season\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuicy cherry and vibrant green tea meet smooth guayusa in this BC-inspired summer blend. Guayusa, a clean-energy leaf from the Amazon, softens the natural bitterness of green tea and rounds out the flavour into something bright, smooth, and endlessly drinkable. No added sugar, no bitterness, no complicated steps. Brew it hot, let it cool, pour it over ice, and get outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with a desire to create a sweet treat that even a teenager would love, this tea features freeze-dried BC cherries with bright, clean green tea and a smooth, naturally sweet finish.
