Labrador Tea - 50g

Labrador Tea, or Greenland moss, actually has nothing to do with the tea plant, but its therapeutic virtues are sought after and just as enviable as those of the camellia sinensis. This wild harvest comes from the heaths of Lac St-Jean where the plant is exposed to the warm rays of the sun.

The presence of stems may seem surprising at first, but it is in this part of the herbal tea that the greatest concentration of the benefits associated with Labrador Tea resides. The infusion is delicately tangy, vegetal, and reminiscent of fir and dill.

Its essential oil is considered anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and effective in treating various broncho-pulmonary conditions. Labrador Tea is also recognized for a host of other benefits related to the menstrual cycle and insomnia, among others.

Ingredients: Labrador tea stem, leaf, and bud (Rhododendron groenlandicum).

A small caveat, however: Because of its richness in tannins, high doses or prolonged infusion can cause cramps and stomach aches. It is therefore best not to infuse it for too long and to moderate its consumption. Consumption is also not recommended for pregnant women of six months or less and for children under six years old.
