Teaberry 'Malvina Berry' Myrteola nummularia The Teaberry plant is native to the Falklands, a low growing dwarf creeping shrub, somewhat woody and found in deep and damp peat areas. Small white four petalled flowers appear from November to January ripening to fat pink and white berries by the end of March to April. These berries are a taste of the real Falklands and early campers used the leaves of this plant to make a form of tea, hence its name. They are slow and tedious to pick but tea-berries have a wonderful flavour and are still looked forward to by campers who use them as currants in cakes, to make jam or just eat them with cream.
