Health Benefits

Recommended by Hippocrates more than 2000 years ago, Greek mountain tea is still popular today throughout the Mediterranean and southeastern Europe.
Not only is it pleasant tasting and gentle (mild chamomile, crossed with peppermint and lemon), but also full of wonderful ingredients that give it its potent benefits:

Boosts the immune system

Brain booster

Digestive System

Sleep and mood disorders

Bone health

Lowers Blood Pressure

Boosts the immune system

One of the main reasons for the common use of Greek mountain tea for thousands of years is its overall beneficial influence on the wellbeing of your body and mind.
Since its packed with antioxidants (similar to green tea), it helps us get rid of the toxins that are building up in the body due to the everyday stress and unhealthy environment, as well as protect our cells from damage and mutations.
Since today its know that most diseases come from inflammation, Greek mountain tea is an excellent way to calm down the irritation and pain connected to most illnesses. In a research done in the Balkans, it was found that Greek mountain tea anti-inflammatory benefits are equal to to that of the prescription drug, domethacine.

With its calming and protective effects (anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-spasmodic), as well as the fact that its a tasty, mild herb with no known side-effects, Greek mountain tea is a smart everyday choice that will help you face the challenges of the day with ease and joy!

Brain booster

On the Balkan Peninsula and the Mediterranean Sea Greek mountain tea species are used as traditional medicine to prevent age-related brain problems in elderly, such as Alzheimer’s disease. These kinds of problems are more and more often in the modern age, yet we don’t know the cause of it and it can significantly lower the quality of life of elderly people.

German research on Greek mountain tea strongly indicated that it can prevent or even reverse Alzheimer’s disease: “By drinking mountain tea for six months, patients with Alzheimer disease reduced the disease to the level it was nine months ago and then it stabilised.”
Additionally, a recent study showed that Greek mountain tea can enhance memory and learning abilities in Alzheimer’s, as well as protect and preserve memory and learning ability during aging.

Digestive System

In 2012, “Planta Medica” published an animal study on the effects of Greek mountain tea on gastrointestinal health and disorders.
It was found that a daily dose of Greek mountain tea effectively helps with digestive problems, such as heartburn, ulcers, stomach pain, and indigestion.

A cup of this tasty tea a day will help sooth the inflammation of your digestive tract, as well as reduce your problems in the long term, due to its protective abilities.

Sleep and mood disorders

Greek mountain tea has a long history of being used for its relaxing and sedative properties.Research out of Germany reports that the compounds interact with GABA receptors in the brain. This would explain why ironwort is continually used for millenniums for sleeping/insomnia, as well as for its anti-stress and anti-depressant effects. It has the same benefits as common prescription drugs for depression, panic disorder, and social phobia, without the unpleasant side-effects.

If you are looking for a relaxed evening and a restful night, have a cup of this tasty tea before bed, unwind and calm your mind and gently drift off into nourishing sleep.

Bone health

Greek mountain tea can help you keep your bones healthy!

Bone loss density is a serious problem, occurring mostly in older people, which can lead to low bone density (osteopenia), weakness of the bones, and eventually osteoporosis. This can lead to bone fractures (broken bones), even with minimal trauma.

Osteoporosis is a serious disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Without prevention or treatment, osteoporosis can progress without pain or symptoms until a bone breaks (fractures).
A research done at the University of Athens shows us that Greek mountain tea helps with bone loss, making your bones stronger and healthier!

Lowers Blood Pressure

A 2012 publication of the “Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology” found that extracts made from Sideritis helped lower blood pressure levels while relaxing the blood vessels and reducing stress on the heart muscle.

Managing high blood pressure is extremely important as it can lead to many heart related diseases – hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure. Greek mountain tea is an excellent choice for your heart health if you also want to enjoy the combination of its benefits. On the other hand, if you are looking for the best tea for high blood pressure, try our hibiscus tea. Based on modern science, it is the most beneficial herb for managing your blood pressure.

One of the most famous and widely consumed herbal teas in Greece is Greek Mountain Tea (“Tsai Tou VouNou” in Greek and meaning “tea of the mountain”).

Being a mountainous country showered by sunshine for a good part of the year, Greece has natural landscapes blanketed by over 3,600 species and subspecies of plants. The healing properties of many of these medicinal plants have been noted and used since antiquity by doctors such as Theofrastus, Dioscorides and Galen.
Hippocrates, father of a great philosopher and modern medicine, praised Greek mountain tea for its positive effects on immunity and respiratory system.

Mountain tea, which has a high phyto-nutrient content that protects it from UV rays and other elements, usually grows in rocky places at an altitude of 1000 metres and above (which is why it’s also known as Shepherd’s Tea).

The plant has been scientifically shown to offer a multitude of important health benefits as it has powerful antioxidant qualities previously recognized only in green tea.
But that’s certainly not all – this herb is also shown to have potent antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-fungal and antioxidant qualities. Although caffeine free, Aristotle described it as an energy tonic, and indeed, it is known to boost the immune system; drinking two to three cups of mountain tea every day is thought to help prevent or fight flu symptoms and stress-related ailments such as chest infections, a foggy head, digestive complaints, fatigue and anxiety.

Sideritis Scardica is the latin name of this variety of Greek tea( there are 17 varieties), and it specifically grows in Mt. Olympus. Sideritis means ‘made of iron‘, as it was historically used to help heal wounds made from iron spears.

This fascinating plant, with its tiny pale yellow flowers, light green buds and silvery leaves contains large amounts of essential oils and is rich in antioxidants.
Revered for its abundant health properties and enjoyed for its mild, smooth, deliciously appealing flavor.
Slightly earthy with floral notes and subtle hints of citrus and mint.
Naturally caffeine free.

Preparation & Dosage

Dosage and preparation:
Tea – Pour a cup of boiled water over 1 to 2 teaspoons of Greek mountain tea. Let it steep for 5-10 minutes. Drink 3 times a day.
extract – 20 to 30 drops, 3 times a day.

The taste: Mountain tea does not have a particularly strong flavor which makes it acceptable to most palates. It tastes like a mild chamomile, crossed with peppermint and lemon. The smell is a quite pleasant lemony-herbal aroma.
Greek Mountain Tea is excellent plain but also pairs beautifully with honey – almost as if the two were made for each other.

Typically enjoyed hot, but it also makes a delicious andrefreshing iced tea.

Precaution: Greek mountain tea has no know side-effects.
