Labrador tea
Labrador Tea is a common name for three closely related evergreen shrubs in the genus Rhododendron as well as a herbal tea traditionally made from their leaves. All three species belong to the heath family (Ericaceae) and are plants of the subarctic and boreal wetlands. Labrador tea has been used for centuries as a medicinal beverage for a long time among the Dene and Inuit, Athabaskan, and other Indigenous cultures of North America.
