Maple Sugar Time !

A mix of black chinese tea with smoked tea and real maple sugar.

Labrador tea is not a real tea. This plant was consumed as an infusion by Canadian natives. It was used as medicine for treatment of many ailments including colds, dizziness, heartburns, kidney problems and hangovers! The infusion of the leaves creates a blend of various flavors such as resin, peppermint, tarragon and grapefruit.

The whole young leaves are of superior quality, picked in the forest in Quebec (in the Gaspesie region) and carefully dried. Drying is a crucial step in the preservation of this herbal tea. Not sufficiently dried, the aromas and flavors will be insipid and the conservation will be reduced. Too dried, the leaves will be brittle and the taste, altered.

Our Chaga is a wild mushroom found growing on birch trees in the Laurentian forest in Quebec. The beautiful ochre colored mushroom is cut into fairly large pieces which may vary. Although Chaga is lent a variety of medicinal virtues such as being a powerful antioxidant and an immune system modulator, we recommend it, above all, for its savory qualities.

We especially enjoy its delicate woody and earthy taste. Our Chaga is prepared in a decoction. Brew for 2 to 10 minutes depending on whether you prefer it sweet or full-bodied. Keep in mind to use the Chaga pieces twice by storing them in the refrigerator.

Our suggestion: add a bit of maple syrup or honey to enhance the flavor.

We have here attached a few links to reliable sources pertaining to this mushroom:
