Pine needle tea or pine leaf tea is an herbal* tea made from pine needles, or the leaves of pine trees (trees of the genus Pinus). In Korea, the tea made from the leaves of Korean red pine (P. densiflora) or Manchurian red pine (P. tabuliformis) is known as sollip-cha (솔잎차), while the tea made from the leaves of Korean pine (P. koraiensis) is known as jannip-cha (잣잎차) or baegyeop-da (백엽다). In North America, pine needle tea may be made from the leaves of Eastern white pine (P. strobus).
*I say "-erbal", not "HER-bal" (hence, an and not a). How do you pronounce "herbal"?
