Labrador Tea EO is a shrub belonging to the Ericaceae family (such as Wintergreen EO) and the genus Ledum
Geographic origin :
Plants of the genus Ledum are generally distributed over the northern hemisphere and mainly in North America. They are therefore found in Canada, the main producer, but also in the USA and Alaska.
Chemotypes :
Recent genetic evidence has shown that plants of the genus ledum should eventually be placed in the genus Rhododendron. It is therefore more relevant to speak of Rhododendron greenlandicum but the term Ledum greenlandicum is still correct.
