Tea Farm

The tea originates from the wild mountain meadows of Mount Olymp, the most famous terroir for herbal- and mountain teas in Greece. It is produced by a regional, family-run organic enterprise that has specialised in the cultivation of Greek mountain teas for multiple generations. 

Character

Flavour

This high-grade St. John's wort comes from Mount Olympus, famous as the home of the gods of Greek mythology. It is cultivated directly on mountain slope meadows, using knowledge that has been passed down through generations of farmers. The tea has a robust natural, mineral flavour that is balanced out with a subtly nutty undertone and fresh notes of lime and forest berries. The flavour is overall soft and possesses a calming power.

Herbal Teas

Herbal teas have been one of the most important applications of traditional herbalism for hundreds of years. Hot water helps release the valuable ingredients so that they can be easily absorbed by the body. Each herb represents a unique complex of active ingredients, sometimes combining hundreds of individual compounds. We select only the highest quality herbs from the best terroirs around the world, either from certified organic cultivation or wildcrafting. Our farms are often small, passionate family-run businesses with a long history of cultivating and processing the highest quality herbs and wild plants.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.
