Clark's Teaberry is a brand of chewing gum. The D. L. Clark Company of Pittsburgh's north side purchased the patent for it from Charles Burke, who experimented with various flavors of chewing gum in the basement of 533 McClintock Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Teaberry is currently manufactured in Morocco by the Gerrit J. Verburg Co.^[1]

The gum dates to 1900 but the popularity of Teaberry peaked in the 1960s.

The gum's mintlike flavor recalls that of Gaultheria procumbens, the eastern teaberry, from which it derives its name.^{[citation needed]} The gum is pink in color, individually wrapped in white paper, and wrapped again in a pink teaberry-printed paper.
