The Digestion story

A rare herb from the cliffs of Crete

Dittany grows only on Cretan gorge walls. Gathering it was once so dangerous the pickers were called 'erondades' — the lovers.

    Dittany of Crete

    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.*

  2. Peppermint growing beside a Greek stream
    02Μέντα

    Peppermint

    Relaxes the digestive tract, eases gas and bloating and cools a heavy stomach — the after-dinner leaf of every Greek table.*

  3. Rosemary tea with a fresh sprig

    Rosemary

    From sun-baked Aegean slopes. Traditionally used to support bile flow, a comfortable stomach and lighter digestion after rich food.*

    The ritual

    One teaspoon, steeped covered for seven minutes, sipped slowly 20 minutes after eating — the way it's done in Crete.

Why it works

The after-dinner herb of the Cretan table

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.

How to brew

Two ways to brew. One second steep.

Whole leaves and flowers give up their flavour slowly, so the same spoonful brews twice.

Hot

  1. 1 tsp (a good pinch) per 8 oz cup
  2. Water just off the boil (212°F)
  3. Cover and steep 5–7 minutes
  4. Strain, sip — then steep the same leaves again

Cold brew

  1. 4–6 tsp per quart of room-temperature water
  2. Steep 4–6 hours (or overnight in the fridge)
  3. Strain and pour over ice
  4. Optional: add honey or a lemon slice

Time it. Drink it warm about 20 minutes after a heavy meal. For a sluggish morning, a cup on an empty stomach works too.

Whole Greek herbs vs. supermarket tea bags

Most herbal tea is what's left after the good leaves are sold. Ours is the good leaves.

Bought both the Mountain Tea and Digestion tea. They are very different, both excellent taste and quality. Super happy with my purchase. Takes me back to the beautiful aura of Greece.

Digestion Tea

The Digestion Tea has so many benefits that you can actually feel. I drink the tea everyday. It has helped ease my bloating so much. Not only that, it is so refreshing! It's delicious both hot and cold!

I’ve purchased many teas from this lovely shop. This was my first batch of the digestion tea. I was looking into a Chinese herbal digestion tea, but since I love Greek Superherbs teas, I gave this one a try. The flavor is absolutely wonderful! I drink a cup every night after dinner. It helps move everything through my system naturally. Another winner!

Good to know

Questions we get most

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.

Unopened products can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a full refund — we send you the return label, free of charge. And if you're unsure, start with a sampler set.

From the founder

Yia mas — to your health.

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.
