I am excited to share with you my basic pine needle tea and the blended tea which is upgraded version in terms of the efficacy and flavour.
In Japan, pine trees are very familiar and fusional to traditional cultures.
Since ancient times, pine trees have been loved and worshiped as god-dwelling trees, and also used for traditional events, or just to enjoy looking at their appearance of natural beauty, or appreciating the scent of a forest by soaking pine needles in a hot bath.
In China, there is a legend/story that ancient hermits have been eating pine needles for longevity, and its effects were found in medical records about 500 years ago.
Pine needle tea is rich in antioxidant vitamin C, so it can boost your immune system. In addition, it contains quercetin which strengthens the blood vessel wall, vitamin A which lowers blood cholesterol, and chlorophyll which helps to form blood cells. So, pine needle tea can purify your blood as well. It contains only trace amount of caffein.
