For tea wasn’t very flavorful. I crushed the needles a bit before steeping.  The pictures mature tree is for identification. I actually collected my sample from a smaller tree that still had meristomatic tips.

I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.

Note: good job identifying that fir! How ever did you learn to do that?
