Teaberry

Shimmery turquoise lollipop in Teaberry flavor

When I was an undergraduate at Penn State, one of my favorite flavors of ice cream from the school's Creamery was Teaberry. It's a flavor that makes me a little homesick for Pennsylvania.

If you've never tasted Teaberry, you may be surprised to learn that it isn't very fruity. Turns out, Teaberry is a regional name for the plant Gaultheria procumbens, also known as American Wintergreen.

While the tongue-tingling Teaberry was quite well liked at the tasting party, I remember it being a controversial flavor among my college friends. We dare you to try it by including it in our Adventurer's Pack collection or as a single-flavor twelve pack.

P.S. If you like our Teaberry lollipops, I recommend Clark's Teaberry chewing gum. I’m not sure, it might only be stocked in stores on the US east coast, but you can track it down online.
