Ancient Greek Heritage
Greek Mountain Tea holds a revered place in Mediterranean wellness traditions. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, specifically recommended this herb for supporting respiratory and immune health. Known as "Shepherd's Tea," it sustained Greek shepherds during long days in the mountains. The name Sideritis comes from the Greek word "sideros" meaning iron, either referring to its ability to heal wounds caused by iron weapons or its high iron content. For centuries, Greek grandmothers have served this tea to family members to maintain health and vitality, particularly during winter months.
