Teaberry refers to the small, red fruit of the Gaultheria procumbens plant, commonly known as the eastern teaberry or checkerberry. This plant is a low-growing evergreen shrub found in North America, particularly in wooded areas. The fruit has a sweet, minty flavor and is often used in candies, teas, and desserts. In addition to its fruit, teaberry leaves are also notable for their aromatic properties. They contain essential oils that can be used to make teaberry tea, which is enjoyed for its refreshing taste. The plant is sometimes associated with traditional herbal remedies and is valued for its unique flavor profile.
