Wild forest blueberry tea

Emperor | May 24, 2009

Days in front of the screen take toll on your eyes. Organic wild forest blueberry has fantastic nutritional values, which are not diluted by production processes that are associated with common blueberry pills.

WHERE THEY GROW?

Forest blueberry grows wild in the land of thousands of lakes under the midnight sun. Sparsely populated Finland has vast forests and pure nature. It is safe to pick blueberries here, in fact they are so tasty that picking takes time - delicious blueberries quickly find their way to berry picker’s mouth and not only to the basket.

HOW BLUEBERRIES BECOME TEA?

It takes a long process for us to have some fine blueberry tea in our cupboard. Collecting them from forest is the time consuming part as nature enthusiasts crowd Finnish forests and hand-pick the blueberries from the ground while avoiding wolves, bears, wolverines and mooses. At times it can be pretty scary inside thick woods. After getting the raw material collected the real transformation from a berry to a tea powder starts.

WASHING AND DRYING

First the blueberries are washed and after that they must go through natural drying. As a process, the drying is the best method what comes to preserving important nutrition of the berries. Throughout the drying process, temperature never rises over 40 degrees of Celsius therefore even the most delicate nutritions are undamaged.

GRINDING

Dried berries are grind into fine blueberry powder and then vacuum packed for optimal preservation. Mechanical grinding doesn’t lower the nutritional contents of the blueberries actually grinding helps in getting the most out of the blueberries as seeds and skin are both broken so that nutrition is more easily digestible.

HOW DOES IT TASTE?

It tastes like blueberries do - really.
