The Pine Needle Trees used for this tea have been cultivated for over 50 years in the pristine mountainous regions of North East China, away from industrial areas.

Pine Needle contains various compounds, including Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Beta-Phellandrene, D-Limonene, Germacrene D, 3-Carene, Caryophyllene, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C.
Traditionally, Pine Needle tea has been used to treat conditions such as the flu, hormonal imbalances, and vision complications.
