Decorating our northern bogs with vibrant energy and colours, wild tamarack trees provide a source of delicious herbal tea each spring. Fresh new growth tamarack tips are collected by hand and carefully dried to make a delicious herbal tea. Wild tamarack needles and branch tips contain vitamin C and offer a delicate yet aromatic flavour when brewed. Enjoy a little bit of wild in your teacup!
Fun Fact: Did you know that the tamarack is one of the very few conifers to lose its needles in the fall? Tamarack needles turn a golden yellow before they drop. Their brightness stands out in the dark sub-arctic forests. They are a true landmark and are the official tree of the Northwest Territories.
Origin:
All the ingredients are hand harvested by Laughing Lichen in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
Wilderness Manufacturing:
Each herbal blend we make in small batches at our remote “off-the-grid” wilderness facility located deep in the Northwest Territories boreal forest. Our entire facility is run using solar energy. This ensures that the air drying of the collected herbs is done in a location far from any pollutants or contaminations. All of our harvesting locations are in pristine virgin forests (old-growth), as here in the Northwest Territories of Canada, there has been very little development or natural resource activity over the years.

I have always had a serious connection to the Tamarack tree. Always gives me a magical feeling when the needles begin to appear in the spring and the droplets of water are resting on the vibrant green needles! Now I get to experience what it tastes like!

LOVE this tea! Tea is all I drink and this is a particularly perfect flavour and I feel good drinking it knowing it is sustainably harvested, and has no chemicals and is a pure product.

My husband has pain from shingles and this tea has definitely helped with pain management and he indicated he likes the taste. I understand this tea is also great for other things like helping to boost our immune systems as well as energy levels. Thank you so much, Geri

This tea is excellent! Mild but flavorful. I tried it with a little honey, but with pure maple syrup is my favorite. if you like spruce tip or fireweed/Ivan tea, you will love this stuff! Thank you for the gift of this tea with my last order. Thoroughly love your products and great service.

It’s very interesting. A lot like the spruce, but I detected a hint of dry mustard to it as well.
