Bulk Inuit Herbal Tea - Labrador Tea (Mamaittuqutik)

A steaming cup, a scent of mint and boreal forest: the day slows down a notch. The Labrador Tea blend (Mamaittuqutik) combines Labrador tea leaves, peppermint, bearberry, fennel, and ginger, here in a bulk box of bags.

The Boreal Delight range was born from the work of the Avataq Cultural Institute, an Inuit cultural organization from Nunavik established in 1980, which first documented traditional herbalism with Elders before creating a line of herbal teas in the early 2000s. The northern plants in the blend, including tundra Labrador tea, are hand-picked and dried by residents of the Nunavik communities in Northern Quebec.
