Organic Greek Mountain Tea τσάι του βουνού
Sideritis scardica
The shepherd's tea of the Greek highlands. Traditionally brewed for immunity, colds and everyday resilience.*

Long before pre-workout powders, Greek highlanders brewed three herbs for a long day on the mountain.
Wild Sideritis from 1,000 m up on Olympus — rich in polyphenols and iron. The shepherds' cup for stamina and steady, caffeine-free energy.*
Gathered from the dry Greek slopes — the Mediterranean's traditional vitality herb for drive, strength and endurance.*
Greek sage from sunlit coastal hills — a fresh, minty lift for focus and a clear head, no caffeine required.*
Brew it strong 30 minutes before training, or cold-brew a quart to sip through the afternoon. No jitters, no crash.
Caffeine borrows energy from later. These three herbs don't. Mountain tea is naturally rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, tribulus is the Mediterranean's traditional vitality herb, and sage brings focus and a fresh, minty lift.*
Together they are the pre-workout Greek highlanders drank for centuries — whole-leaf, organic and caffeine-free, so you can drink it at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m.

Whole leaves and flowers give up their flavour slowly, so the same spoonful brews twice.
Pre-workout tip. Steep 7 minutes with a full teaspoon, add a squeeze of lemon and drink 30 minutes before training.
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, fresh and minty — mountain tea gives the honeyed backbone, sage the fresh lift. Lovely with lemon and a little Ikaria honey.
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.
