Pine Needle Tea — Loose Leaf, Wild Canadian Boreal (3.5 oz)

A Traditional Northern Tea — Continued by Purely Wild

Purely Wild Pine Needle Tea is the authentic continuation of Dr. Cass Ingram's life work. A licensed physician (DO), author of 30+ books, and one of the earliest researchers to bring wild northern botanicals to Western attention, Dr. Ingram spent 40+ years championing a single principle: the living, whole plant, wild-gathered from remote terrain, is the true medicine. Purely Wild carries that work forward — the same wild species, the same regions, the same traditional preparations.

Wild-Harvested from the Canadian Boreal Forest

The needles in every pouch are hand-cut from pristine old-growth evergreen stands in the Canadian wilderness — vast, cold, untouched northern terrain where wild conifers grow slowly and produce their full profile of active compounds. These are not farmed trees. They are mature, wild evergreens rooted in mineral-rich forest soil, fed by snow and forest rain, exposed to clean northern air.

Unsprayed. Untreated. Uncultivated.

A Traditional Northern Herbal Cup

The cup is aromatic, lightly resinous, warming, and surprisingly refreshing — a traditional wilderness tea enjoyed for centuries by Indigenous peoples and boreal cultures alike.

Wild pine needle naturally contains shikimic acid, vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids, and the full aromatic terpene profile of the wild evergreen. Purely Wild does not add flavorings. We do not blend in fillers. We do not standardize to a single compound. The pouch is simply wild-harvested Canadian pine, dried and cut — the complete, balanced herb.*

Traditional Use

For centuries, northern peoples brewed pine needle tea as a daily staple — to support the body's natural immune defenses, respiratory wellness, and antioxidant status through long winters of short days, cold air, and limited fresh greens.*

Dr. Ingram researched these traditions on foot, in the field, across four decades. Purely Wild Pine Needle Tea is the authentic modern continuation of that tradition — prepared the way the tradition intended.

How to Brew

1. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of loose pine needles in a cup or teapot.
2. Pour freshly boiled water (about 8 oz per cup).
3. Cover and steep 8 to 12 minutes. Longer steep = stronger cup.
4. Strain. Enjoy hot, or chill for iced tea. Sweeten with raw honey if desired.
5. 1 to 3 cups per day is traditional.

A 3.5 oz pouch brews approximately 40 to 50 cups.

Loose Leaf vs. Tea Bags

Loose leaf gives you the strongest, most aromatic cup and the most flexibility — you control the strength by adjusting the leaf. For daily convenience and travel, Purely Wild also offers pre-portioned Pine Needle Tea Bags.
