How does it taste?

This plant has a woody, subtle and unique flavor, halfway between mint and fir resin, which makes it a very refreshing beverage. It also contains floral and tangy notes that bring complexity to its composition. It is also used in certain beers, gins, game broths, for cooking as a substitute for bay leaves or to add flavor to several types of recipes.

Where and when to find the Labrador tea flower?

It grows in acidic, cool and moist soils such as peat bogs, coniferous forests, marshes or in areas that have been logged. It can be picked all year round (provided you dig under the snow in winter), but it is best to harvest it in late summer or fall. Indeed, if the leaf is too young, its concentration of essential oil is lower than when it has had time to mature well. It will then contain less flavor as well as a decrease in medicinal properties. Otherwise, it is increasingly easy to find it in a natural grocery store near you or in our online store, no matter where you are in the world.
