Labrador tea is a common name for three closely related plant species in the genus Rhododendron as well as a herbal tea made from their leaves. All three species are primarily wetland plants in the heath family. Labrador tea has been a favorite beverage for a long time among Athabaskan First Nations and Inuit.
