What Greek mountain tea is
Mountain tea is the dried flowering stem of sideritis, a plant of the Greek mountains. It brews into a mild, floral infusion with a gentle citrus note, enjoyed hot in winter and iced in summer.
Our organic mountain tea comes as whole stems. Every batch is packed in Athens under FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000, and the organic line is certified by BIO Hellas.
