Description
Sun-Kissed Huckleberry wraps up everyone’s favorite mountain high berry into a caffeine-free herbal tea. For those of us lucky enough to roam the Montana woods in late summer, stumbling on a patch of fresh huckleberries always feels like good fortune. So tasty! Bears love them too, so stay alert, and leave some huckleberries for the next hungry visitor.
Our Sun-Kissed Huckleberry tries to capture all of this: the rare sweetness of fresh berries, along with the fleeting joy of a Rocky Mountain summer. The cup has a complex flavor, beginning with that bright berry note, and then filling out with marshmallow root’s malty sweetness. The fruity–tart layer returns as the flavor lingers, echoed in the rosehips and lemon myrtle. This tea reliably wins our customers over. Drink it hot, or drink it cold—both taste delicious. Drink it in the mountains, or drink it when you need to visit the mountains in your imagination.
Huckleberries grow in a particular ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest—and it’s shrinking. They prefer high elevations, acidic soil, and partial shade: in other words, a Rocky Mountain evergreen forest. Efforts to grow them commercially have failed. Read about the precarious relationship between bears, berries, bees, and humans and our approach to the huckleberry at huckleberry’s scarcity and our tea.
And finally, if you like a little caffeine kick, don’t miss our High Country Huckleberry black tea blend.
A made in Montana tea.

My daughter, who now resides in Montana, sent me a packet of Sunkissed Huckleberry for Christmas last year. I immediately fell in love with the flavor. The perfect blend and taste. Try it, you will fall in ❤️.
I wasn’t able to find brewing instructions for your teas. How long and what temperature the water should be. It would be helpful information to have on the website. If I just overlooked it. I would love to know where to find it.
Thanks

Hi Theresa, We couldn’t agree more. Sun-Kissed Huckleberry hits the nail on the head when it comes to huckleberry! LMTC
I’m locally from the state, and huckleberry has always been a favorite of mine. I combined this tea with local huckleberry cremed honey and a but of brow sugar, I was so pleased with how uplifting it was!
