The Cistus incanus variant of rock rose used in this tea originates from Chalkidiki, and is grown on Mt. Othrys in Greece. This region is well-known for its herbs. As a result of natural cultivation, our rock rose has a particularly high concentration of the polyphenol complex that rock rose is renowned for.
The organic karigane sencha is a blend of cultivars, mainly Yabukita and Okumidori but also other cultivars, from Chiran and Kagoshima in southern Japan. These refined versions of stem tea (kukicha: 80% stem and 20% leaves) are rich in amino acids, low in caffeine, and have a significantly high catechin content.
We also source our Greek mountain tea from Mt. Othrys. The variant we use, Sideritis scardica Type 2, has a very high content of anthocyanins.
All other herbs used in this blend are sourced from specialised farms with ideal growing conditions for herbs.
