Its Greek Mountain Tea
Sideritis · Greek ironwort · Wild-harvested · Caffeine-free · 15g
High in the untouched peaks of the Greek mountains, where the air is clean and the soil is rich, grows Sideritis — the plant the Greeks have called "mountain tea" for thousands of years. Known scientifically as Sideritis and colloquially as shepherd's tea, this ancient herb has been brewed across the Mediterranean since antiquity, prized equally for its soothing warmth and its remarkable wellness properties.
Wild-harvested at peak bloom and gently dried to preserve every trace of its natural oils and active compounds, this is mountain tea as it was always meant to be — earthy, aromatic, and deeply comforting. With a naturally mild, slightly sweet flavour and a golden amber brew, it is the perfect cup for any moment of the day, with or without honey.
