Description

Greek Mountain Tea, also known as Tsai tou vounou in Greek, is an herbal tea made from the dried flowers and leaves of the Sideritis plant, which grows in the mountainous regions of Greece and other parts of the Mediterranean. Sideritis grows best at high altitudes, absorbing the fresh mountain air and sunlight the region is known for. Renowned for its slightly sweet and earthy flavor, Greek Mountain Tea is often consumed for its health benefits rather than for its taste. It's been a staple of traditional Greek medicine for centuries, with claims that it can aid in digestion, boost the immune system, and reduce inflammation.

The high levels of antioxidants found in Greek Mountain Tea illustrates its potential to fight oxidative stress and promote overall well-being. It contains compounds like flavonoids, polyphenols, and essential oils, which are said to support the body’s natural defenses. The tea is also caffeine-free, making it an ideal evening drink, promoting relaxation without the stimulating effects of coffee or caffeinated teas. Greek Mountain Tea is generally enjoyed hot (though it can also be served iced), with honey or lemon commonly added to enhance its soothing qualities and enhance its flavor.

Shoppers appreciated the health benefits and found it perfect for evening relaxation. Some noted the unusual appearance of stems and flowers, but loved the delicate, slightly minty taste.

Delicious tea with amazing health benefits

Very light flavored tea. I love the smooth flavor and have made this tea a part of my nightly routine. Reasonably priced for a large sized bag. I’m really happy with my purchase. Even more happy to have discovered Whistling Kettle.

Like no other

This tea doesn’t look like much when brewed but the subtle taste comes together and leaves you wanting more. The health benefits, yes please!

Nice tea

Subtle flavor. Not sure if health benefits are real, but I like the tea.

It’s certainly strange looking but wow what a taste

When I received the tea I was kinda perplexed by how it looked. Not bad just different. I’m from the Southern United States and this could be a number of things I’ve seen growing wild in fields before. The difference, The Whistling Kettle blenders. This is in my top 3 go to teas now. I don’t know what Greek Mountain Tea is nor do I really care after tasting it, just great. It’s so smooth and I like it in the evening because it’s also relaxing. My next venture into the Wild Greek Mountains is going to be to the Meadow and I fully expect it to be superb as well. Thanks Whistlers great job.

The joy of Greek mountain tea---Evcharisto!!!!

I've had my Greek Mountain tea for about a week, and I love it! Especially I enjoy the floral taste/aftertaste of the camomile (I think) and other good things.

Yummy All Day

I first heard about this tea in a new book, Elixir, which is a bittersweet non-fiction that takes place in the Balkans. They call the tea mursala. The author enjoyed it so much it made me want to try it. There is a wildness to it. To me, it tastes minty oregano, earthy and spry. I have drunk much tea in my life, and this is my new favorite.

Really Nice Flavor

This tea tastes really good. I drink a lot of white tea and this tastes a little similar in that it has a nice clean taste, not strong. Will buy a lot in the future!

This one is a winner!

My husband and I mostly drink black teas, but we tried a sample of this and fell in love. It’s my husband’s new favorite and I’ve already purchase several bags. It is light and clean tasting, mild but with enough flavor to be satisfying. Reminds me of an herbal tea I drank while in Iceland, but better!

Just Like Greece

The first thing I did when I came home from vacation last summer was look for a place where I could get Greek Mountain Tea within the US (i.e. without insane shipping costs). I was nervous that the quality wouldn't be as good as what I'd brought home with me, but it's great! Thank you, Whistling Kettle for existing so I can continue to enjoy this tea.

The Perfect "All-Day" Tea

The description provided for this tea is spot on. It's the perfect tea for me at my office because I can leave the same tea bag in my mug all day with it never tasting bitter if I'm not able finish it before I leave for the day. It has a pleasant mild taste so it can be enjoyed at anytime of the day and goes with anything you might be eating.

Just started drinking Greek Mountain Tea. I really enjoy the refreshing flavor. One of the health & wellness of this tea is supposed to help lower blood pressure which I hope that it may help. Even if it doesn’t I am still enjoyingthe flavors. Excited to try other teas & buying some family Christmas presents. ENJOY!!

Finally, an herbal tea that I like!

In general I like the idea of a hot soothing bedtime tea, but I've found that I really don't care for basically every herbal tea I've ever tried. They all seem to be too sweet, too fruity, too flowery, or too overpowering. So I'm quite happy to finally find an herbal tea that I like! Greek Mountain tea is delightful. It's reminiscent of chamomile, but milder, with notes of lemon. It's very pleasant and soothing, great for unwinding in the evening. The recommended strength is 1 tsp per cup, but the "leaves" (and stems and flowers) are rather large so a spoonful doesn't really get that much. I use two spoonfuls and that's just right (it would probably be 1 tsp if you packed it down).

Lovely and calming

I bought a sample to try. It’s very light and calming . Unusual texture, a great option for a nighttime tea. I think I used more than the recommended amount per cup.

Smooth Taste with Benefits

Sipping on Greek Mountain tea is like receiving a warm hug. The taste is simple, smooth and refreshing. After drinking this tea regularly for a few weeks I felt healthier with increased vitality, without the imitation of caffeine or other stimulants.

Perfect

When my brother in law got married in Greece in Summer 2019 his new mother in law gave me a big bag of this tea. I finally got through it in October, and was hopeful this would be the same!

This is just as good as what I was given in Greece! Thank you so much!

Greek Mountain Tea

My husband in half Greek and he always buys Greek Mountain tea at the Greek Church Food festivals. It is nice to know that I can order it from Whistling Tea Kettle when he runs out. The stems are not packed which makes it easier to infuse that when he gets it at the festivals. He likes it for its health benefits and says it has a grassy taste.

Drinking this light refreshing tea is very relaxing. I do believe my joints feel better after a daily cup for the past 2 weeks.

I never use milk or any sweetener in my tea. This is just refreshingly satisfying to drink in its natural state.
