Five steps · Cold water to cup

Three minutes at a quiet simmer.

Mountain tea is not a tea-bag errand. You start with cold water, bring the stems just to the boil, and let them simmer quietly. It is a small pause built into the evening.

  1. 01Two or three whole stems in cold water.
  2. 02Bring just to a boil, then simmer three minutes.
  3. 03Pour; add honey only when you want it.

A pantry with a return address

The source stays common ground.

We sell the harvest and the craft around it. We do not sell a fantasy of owning the mountain. The public source ledger grows only when a place, process, and permission can be stated plainly.
