Spirit of the Boreal
Spirit of the Boreal is a distinctive forest tea that carries the aromatic, resinous, and green flavours of the northern woods. Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum) anchors the blend, an iconic boreal plant traditionally used as a warming, aromatic tea by Indigenous peoples and northern settlers.
Spruce tips (Picea glauca) contribute bright evergreen notes and vitamin-rich nourishment, while fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium) and nettle (Urtica dioica) offer mineral-dense green support traditionally associated with vitality and resilience. Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) lifts the blend, enhancing flavour and digestive comfort.
This tea tastes like the forest after the rain, clean, invigorating, and deeply grounding.
