Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum)

We only use the leaves of the plant for our Labrador tea soap.

Labrador tea has anti-inflammatory properties and an antibacterial effect. It also helps relieve scalp and skin problems.

Labrador tea is a low shrub with upright branches that grow to a height of 15-60 cm. The leaves are pointed and highly fragrant.

The plants grow 12-30 hemispherical clusters of white flowers. The plants grow hemispherical clusters of white, flagrant flowers that are 8-12 mm in size. Labrador tea typically grows on acidic soils with few nutrients, such as areas with mossy heaths and thickets.

Over the millennia, Labrador tea has been used by the peoples of the Arctic to prepare food, make tea and produce natural medicinal remedies.
