Organic Dittany of Crete δίκταμο
Origanum dictamnus
The rarest herb in Greece — it grows only on Cretan cliffs. Prized since Hippocrates for digestion and soothing.*

Dittany grows only on Cretan gorge walls. Gathering it was once so dangerous the pickers were called 'erondades' — the lovers.
Clings to the limestone walls of Cretan gorges — nowhere else on earth. Hippocrates prescribed it for the stomach 2,400 years ago; it still eases bloating and heaviness.*
Relaxes the digestive tract, eases gas and bloating and cools a heavy stomach — the after-dinner leaf of every Greek table.*
From sun-baked Aegean slopes. Traditionally used to support bile flow, a comfortable stomach and lighter digestion after rich food.*
One teaspoon, steeped covered for seven minutes, sipped slowly 20 minutes after eating — the way it's done in Crete.
Dittany of Crete (Origanum dictamnus) is one of the rarest herbs in Europe and has been used for stomach complaints since antiquity — Hippocrates prescribed it, and Cretan grandmothers still do. Peppermint relaxes the digestive tract and eases bloating; rosemary supports bile flow and a comfortable stomach.*
Together: a savory, fresh cup that makes a heavy meal feel lighter.

Whole leaves and flowers give up their flavour slowly, so the same spoonful brews twice.
Time it. Drink it warm about 20 minutes after a heavy meal. For a sluggish morning, a cup on an empty stomach works too.
Most herbal tea is what's left after the good leaves are sold. Ours is the good leaves.
Hot: 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of just-boiled water, steeped 5–7 minutes. Iced: 4–6 teaspoons per quart of room-temperature water, steeped 4–6 hours. The leaves are generous, so you can re-steep them for a second batch.
Earthy and oregano-like from the dittany, cool from the peppermint, with rosemary's piney finish — savory, fresh and very Cretan.
No — it's naturally caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it any time, including the evening.
Yes. We never grind, crush or bag our herbs. You see whole leaves, flowers and roots in the bag — and that's why each spoonful steeps twice.
Keep it in a cool, dark, dry place, sealed tight and away from sunlight and moisture. Dried herbs don't expire — they just slowly lose a little aroma and potency over time, so they're best enjoyed within about two years for peak flavor.
Our teas are natural, certified-organic herbs with nothing added. But pregnancy and breastfeeding are times to be a little extra careful — some herbs aren't recommended then, and everyone's situation is different. We always recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before adding a new herbal tea to your routine.

The honey Greeks stir in, and sister blends from the same hills.
I grew up on Ikaria, where herbs were not a wellness trend — they were what my grandmother picked on the hillside, dried on the roof and brewed every evening for whoever walked through the door.
Real leaves and roots, never the broken dust sealed into a bag.
Every plant we sell is harvested at peak potency, hand-cut, air-dried the traditional way and hand-packed. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
