Oh, yay! Thanks for posting this, OF! I love different teas and will try my hand at crafting my own brews!
Speaking of brews, I discovered that juniper berries are used to make gin. I have juniper trees on my land!

Labrador leafs make a fine tasting tea too. If you have pine in the area you should have some labrador plants. I'm sure you've seen them.

I have lots of Ponderosa pine. I want to buy a book on plants in the PNW or specifically Oregon, if I can find one, to help with identification.  My son bought me a Kindle for Christmas!

You're in a good spot there Julie.
Here some edible wild plants in the PNW to look for.
I crack people up when we go hiking and I start grabbing wild flowers and weeds and eating them.

People are so used to going to the store they forgot that the indians survived for generations on wild plants.
P.S. Catnip makes a great tasting and soothing tea.
One of the healthiest and best tasting also is Dandelion flower or root. (Never kill the dandelions!)

What a great site! Thanks for the link! Wow, we have Jerusalem artichoke, wild asparagus, and lots of neat things!
Oregon has LOTS of edible mushrooms. All sorts of berries, too.

I like berries most of all. Whenever I come across a patch of good berries like blue berries, black berries or strawberries, I STOP! drop my backpack and start picking.
I learned that its best to spend 15 or 20 minutes picking then 15 or 20 seconds eating ~

Last night I drank a Zija detox tea. Pooped 5 times this morning. I will spare you the details. Pure magic. I feel like a kid.

HAHa! Quite the experience, isn't it?
I like just sitting there for a few minutes listening to it yell at me in 5 different languages and telling me how much it hates Jesus.
Then I flush down the demon and listen to it scream all the way down. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Detox tea works GREAT for exorcisms too!
