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.*

Three herbs, one pot, honey and lemon — the Greek winter protocol, unchanged for generations.
Wild Sideritis from 1,000 m up on Olympus — among the most antioxidant-rich Mediterranean herbs, brewed for colds, sore throats and resilience.*
Greek sage from the islands — antimicrobial by long reputation, soothing for a sore throat, with a savory mint lift.*
Louiza from the village garden — bright lemon-blossom aroma, traditionally taken to soothe the throat and calm digestion.*
Brew it strong, stir in raw honey once it cools a little, add lemon, drink hot. Repeat until better.
Greek mountain tea (Sideritis) is among the most antioxidant-rich herbs studied in the Mediterranean, traditionally used for colds, sore throats and everyday resilience. Sage adds its antimicrobial reputation; lemon verbena soothes the throat and lifts the aroma.*
Whole-leaf and organic, it is also simply a beautiful daily cup — most of our customers drink it all year.

Whole leaves and flowers give up their flavour slowly, so the same spoonful brews twice.
Honey after, not during. Let the tea cool a minute before stirring in raw Ikaria honey — high heat dulls its enzymes and aroma.
Most herbal tea is what's left after the good leaves are sold. Ours is the good leaves.
The same organic blend in a 1 lb (450 g) bag — around 225 cups, or 450 double-steeped. It's the best value per cup and popular with families and offices. Store it sealed, cool and dark.
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 honeyed from the mountain tea, with sage's savory mint and lemon verbena's bright lemon-blossom perfume. Made for honey and lemon.
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.
