The wild strawberry is a member of the rose family. It is sometimes called the wood strawberry because of its propensity for growing throughout North American forests. But they don't stop there. Wild strawberries grow anywhere. The creeping plant can be found in fields, lawns, streamsides, riverbanks, even roadside ditches. They grow in clusters up to about six inches tall and bloom from April to June depending on how far north you are.
Once the berries set, the plants lie dormant through the hot summer months. As for flavor, although they're smaller than their commercially available counterparts, wild strawberries are generally considered to be more full-bodied.
This tea is part of our fundraiser series for the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary. A portion of our profits from all sales of this tea are donated to the Sanctuary.

Black tea is fully oxidized, removing all green color from the original leaves. This is sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as “fermenting.” (If you want real fermented tea, see our Pu-erh teas).
After oxidation, the tea is generally stronger and higher in caffeine than white, green, or oolong tea. It also has a longer shelf life.
