teaberry

Small red berry

Teaberry is another name for the wintergreen plant, a low-growing North American shrub with aromatic leaves and bright red berries.

The leaves produce an oil with a distinctive minty flavor, once commonly used in chewing gum and candy.

The name reflects a former practice of brewing the leaves into tea.
