JUNIPER RIDGE Douglas Fir Spring Tip Tea — 20 Unbleached Teabags, Citrus & Evergreen Aroma

Juniper Ridge Douglas Fir Spring Tip Botanical Tea is a caffeine-free, vegan infusion made from wild-harvested Douglas fir spring tips, offering bright citrus top notes, fresh evergreen character, and subtle honeysuckle warmth.

Harvested from the mountain forests of the Pacific Northwest, this hand-crafted tea blends aromatic Douglas fir spring tips with complementary botanical elements to recreate the scent and flavor of a forest hike in your cup. Each box contains 20 unbleached teabags made from naturally sourced ingredients—no synthetic flavors, gluten-free, and crafted with traditional infusion techniques. Juniper Ridge focuses on woodland-forward blends that evoke place and memory while supporting conservation through a portion of proceeds.

What does this Douglas Fir tea taste and smell like?

You’ll notice a bright citrus lift up front, a clean evergreen core from the fir tips, and a gentle floral or honeysuckle-like finish. The overall profile leans aromatic and resinous rather than sweet, giving a stimulating, outdoorsy cup.

• Top notes: citrus zest and bright, crisp aroma
• Midnotes: fresh evergreen and resinous pine character
• Finish: soft floral or honeysuckle warmth
• Texture: light-bodied, aromatic infusion rather than thick or tannic

How should I brew this tea for best results?

Brew with near-boiling water for a short steep to preserve the delicate evergreen aromatics. Use one teabag per 8–12 oz cup and steep 3–5 minutes, adjusting time for stronger or milder flavor. No sweeteners are required, but a touch of honey or a citrus slice complements the natural notes.

• Water temperature: 200–212°F (just off boil)
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes
• Serving: 8–12 oz cup per teabag
• Optional: honey, lemon slice, or a sprig of fresh mint

What makes Juniper Ridge’s tea different from conventional herbal teas?

Juniper Ridge emphasizes wildcrafting and place-based ingredients rather than lab-made extracts. The blend uses tree tips, sap, and other forest botanicals prepared with traditional infusion and distillation techniques to capture a true sense of the Pacific Northwest outdoors.

• Wild-harvested Douglas fir spring tips and botanical components
• No synthetic flavors, gluten-free and vegan
• Unbleached teabags and small-batch preparation methods
• Part of proceeds support conservation initiatives

How can I enjoy this tea beyond a hot cup?

Besides sipping hot, this aromatic tea works nicely as a light cold-brew for summer, a steam inhalation for an instant forest-scented room, or as a subtle ingredient in cocktails and mocktails. The fresh evergreen profile pairs well with citrus-forward mixers or simple infusions into syrups.

• Cold-brew: steep in cold water for 4–8 hours
• Room steam: steep and inhale steam briefly for aromatic benefit
• Culinary uses: incorporate into syrups, cocktails, or baking infusions
• Outdoor ritual: take a teabag on hikes for a forest aroma at camp

Who is this for? This Douglas Fir Spring Tip tea is aimed at people who enjoy nature-forward beverages, from outdoor lovers and hikers to tea enthusiasts seeking unusual botanical profiles. It’s suited for anyone avoiding caffeine or animal products, and for shoppers who prefer small-batch, sustainably minded brands that highlight wild-harvested ingredients and place-based flavor.
