Tea story

This herbal blend is for those who crave the wild — a deep forest treasure, crafted for true seekers of rare and untamed flavors. This tea is a tribute to the taiga—where moss softens your step, pine needles perfume the air, and the wind carries the hush of ancient woods.

Built on a base of fermented mulberry and pear leaves, it’s enriched with fermented cedar needles, pine buds, siberian chaga, sagan-daylya, and a touch of ivan-chai for grounding depth. These wild-foraged ingredients were carefully harvested in 2023 and fermented to unlock their healing potential and to balance intensity with drinkability.

What sets this tea apart is the fermented cedar needles, which contribute rare, resinous brightness and deep green vitality. This is a tea not for everyone—but for those who love the scent of rain-soaked bark, who feel alive in foggy forests, who seek something primal in their cup.

Smoked trout on dark rye with horseradish cream
The bold forest character of the tea stands up to the smoky, fatty fish and peppery brightness of horseradish.

Roasted root vegetables with thyme and garlic
Earthy and slightly sweet, this dish mirrors the grounding warmth and mineral quality of the tea.

Walnut and mushroom pâté on sourdough
Deeply savory, nutty, and textural, this pairing complements the tea’s woodland umami and herbal complexity.
