Wild BC Nettles
-
A relaxing herbal expression of British Columbia's forests.
Nettles thrive in BC's lush forests. Traditionally, folks attribute a wild variety of health benefits to this humble plant; we are no experts and prefer to focus on the relaxing, slightly savoury, caffeine free brew that we get from this wild plant.
Origin: Chilliwack, BC, Canada
GPS: 49.1°N 121.9°W
Brewing Guidelines: 1.5g (~2 big leaves), 240ml @ 100°C, 8 minutes.
Sustainable Foragers: Lauren and Stephen focus on the harvest and supply of locally sourced ingredients native to the lower mainland. With ethics of sustainability in mind, they consider nature a valuable resource that should be both studied and respected.
They started foraging in 2012 as a hobby out of curiosity, led by the question 'can I eat that?'. Over time, after learning both from books and more experienced foragers they gained confidence to share the food they collected.-
