The aroma is a combination of spruce wood and dried ginseng and the liquor is a cloudy sunny yellow. The blend infuses with jammy notes from the rose hip, and has a savory, dry bitter mouth feel with hints of liquorice root, roasted cauliflower and dandelion. Caffeine free.

Indigenous people used these herbs to provide stamina during extended hunting excursions.  The Woodland Cree call sarsaparilla rabbit root, and it is rumored to awaken certain urges. Great either hot or iced, this tea gives a gentle boost rather than the harsh spikes of caffeine.

From June to August, approximately 75 harvesters gather plants at their own pace, earning fair compensation by the pound. For some, it’s a source of income, a family tradition, or even a cherished first paycheck for teens. For others, it’s a way to connect with nature and spoil grandchildren.

Harvesting in the boreal forest has been a way of life for thousands of years, deeply rooted in the heritage of northern communities. By choosing this tea, you’re supporting sustainable practices and helping to share this largely untold story with the world.
