Boreal Heartland Herbal Products Inc is Indigenous owned and operated, We operate on Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 territories. Traditonal and Ancestral lands to the Woodlands Cree, Métis, Plains Cree, Dene and Saulteaux. Boreal Heartland began in 2017 and is based in Air Ronge, SK , Canada.
Each spring people from the community forage produce directly from the boreal forest. Harvesters work in their own time and are paid fair prices by the pound. Approximately 75 individuals bring plants in between June and August. Some harvest by the truck load, while families with kids bring in boxes or bags.
The boreal forest has supported the life and wellbeing of people since the last glaciers retreated (~8000 years). It is a good place, although it’s heritage is largely unknown outside Northern communities. However we are striving to change that! We blend traditional flavours in ways that appeal to the modern palate. Our 4 flagship teas blend herbs that were traditionally consumed by Indigenous people (for thousands of years!) for their healthfulness and flavour.
Restoration: Our best selling blend. A dark savory tea, with a fresh minty aroma and full bodied taste. The amber liquor is lightly bitter with herbaceous flavour notes of cucumber, seaweed, moss and gentle mint.
Relaxation: Brewing bright yellow, the aroma and flavour are reminiscent of chrysanthemum blossoms and morning meadows, with moments of honey and sage. Notes of pine linger on the nose.
