One of the MANY things I am REALLY liking about Whispering Pines Tea Company is that the owner isn’t afraid to be creative! They are NOT afraid to try something new! They appear – to me at least – they are NOT interested in an ordinary or easy or safe tea. This…I LOVE. They enjoy taking a chance and I think it has really paid off!
Black tea, elderberries, lemongrass, spearmint, smoked pine-needle essence are the ingredients in this tea.
Dry aroma was earthy, herbally, woodsy, dark, and had a hint of lemon.
The color of the post-infused liquor is that of a Dark Brown/Grey-ish combo.
The ‘wet’ aroma is a gentle “in the woods” type smell – perhaps – next to a patch of fresh herbs.
The taste…is AWESOME. I really had no idea I was going to enjoy it as much as I am! The black tea base is what I would consider to be medium in strength but the pine, lemon, and mint flavor pairings are at the perfect-for-my-palate level of intensity. The ratios are VERY NICE!
It leaves a peaceful and minty-fresh yet hint of green-herbal goodness left over and behind.
I totally agree with the product description’s end note…
NAMASTE
Indeed!

their teas do look so intriguing!
POST NOTE on this one…Luke warm and Cold temps with this – the elderberries pop out more! Nice and subtle and totally makes sense with everything else :)
That is one funky ingredient list!
my samples are supposed to come today, I can’t wait to try them! I ordered this one!
Amanda! Which others did you choose?
I ordered samples too which are on the way! Glen Arbor, Whisper of the Woods, Blackburnian, and Smores. :)
I really liked Glen Arbor, Whisper of the woods!!! Blackburian sounded interesting…I’m going to have to ask a few questions about the Smores one, tho, if it’s vegan :)
YUP!!!!!! The SMores one IS Vegan! I already heard back from the owner! YAY!!!!!
This one, Black Bear Breakfast, Smores, Jasmine Coconut, and the Coconut White. Braving the heat to go see if the mailman has left yet and see if they’re here!
This all sounds way cool.
In case anyone is interested, I made a product video for this blend :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy0xKilUWZY
