The Sage story

The morning cup of the island where people forget to die

Ask an Ikarian centenarian what they drink and the answer is usually the same: faskomilo, with honey.

    The island

    Ikaria, eastern Aegean — one of five Blue Zones on earth, where one in three people reaches 90.

  2. A bundle of dried Greek sage

    The herb

    Salvia fruticosa grows wild on the island's rocky slopes. Cut by hand before flowering, dried whole in the shade.

  3. A woman drinking tea at a table overlooking the Ikarian sea

    The people

    Sage is Ikaria's coffee. It's what the old men drink at the kafeneio and what the grandmothers brew for a cold.

  4. A glass of iced sage tea with lemon
    04Τελετουργία

    The ritual

    A spoon of leaves, seven minutes covered, honey and lemon. Hot in winter, iced with lemon in August.

Why it works

The herb Ikarians credit for their memory

Greek sage (Salvia fruticosa) is one of the most-studied Mediterranean herbs for memory and attention, and one of the richest in rosmarinic acid and antioxidants. Traditionally it is also the island's first line against colds and sore throats.*

Ours is wild-harvested on Ikaria, certified organic and kept whole-leaf — the same plant, the same way, as the centenarians drink it.

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

Honey and lemon, always. That's how it's served on Ikaria. Our raw Ikaria heather honey is the traditional match.

The difference

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.

Sweet, Earthy, Relaxation

I came upon some wildcrafted sage tea when I visited Ikaria over a year ago. I got sick on my trip and I drank the herbal teas there as if they were medicine. Inevitably, I ran out of the stash I brought home with me, so when I discovered Greek Superherbs sold it, I didn't hesitate to buy. This is now a staple in my evening routine and every cup takes me back to Greece and fills me with joy.

THE POWER OF SAGE TEA

THE POWER OF SAGE TEA
Sage tea is one of my favorite herbal teas. It has a great clean earthy flavor with hints of mint, eucalyptus + lemon tones. Add a little honey, lemon + ginger to enjoy. Besides it's great taste, it improves lipid profile + antioxidant defenses. How great is that !!! :blush:

Sage for Diabetes

My blood sugar was showing high (192), and I started drinking Greek Sage tea before bed, and saw my blood sugar go down to 119 in two weeks (a 70+ decrease!). The flavor is amazing. I also have other Greek Superherb teas, and love each one. They are all amazing.

Yia sou James!!! It's amazing to hear how Greek Sage helped lower your blood sugar levels by over 70 points in just two weeks. I'm thrilled to have been a part of your journey towards better health. Cheers to many more delightful sips! Have a wonderful day. Eleftheria

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 savory with hints of mint, eucalyptus and lemon — Greek sage (Salvia fruticosa) is softer and more aromatic than garden sage. Honey and lemon are its classic companions.

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.

From our U.S. fulfillment center within 1 business day. Standard delivery takes 2–4 business days and is free on orders over $79.

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.
