Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Sweetfern (Comptonia peregrina) is a bright and citrusy herbal tea that brews to a light green colour. The infusion has a slight bite to it and has an overall character similar to Nepalese green tea. Locally foraged in Nova Scotia, each package contains 25 grams.
