High in the remote mountains of Greece, this resilient herb grows where few plants survive — thriving in rocky soil, intense sun, snow-covered winters, and dry alpine air.
Greek Mountain Tea (Sideritis) is known for adapting to dramatic environmental extremes. From freezing mountain peaks to warm Mediterranean summers, the plant develops naturally in harsh conditions, which is part of what makes it so uniquely aromatic and robust.
Discover why Greek elders have sworn by Greek Mountain Tea, also known as Ironwort, for generations. This naturally caffeine-free herb was featured in the Blue Zones documentary as one of the daily rituals linked to longer, healthier living in Ikaria, Greece.
Unlike many commercial versions that are cut small or mechanically processed, our Greek Mountain Tea consists of intact flowers and tender stems selected for freshness, color, and aroma. You’ll see whole golden blossoms and silvery-green leaves, a sign of careful harvesting and minimal handling. This preserves the plant’s essential oils and delicate flavor, resulting in a smoother, more vibrant infusion.
Our Greek Mountain Tea is sourced from whole Sideritis flowers and stems, hand-harvested at high elevation where the plant concentrates its flavonoids, aromatics, and antioxidant compounds. Traditionally used for supporting relaxation, digestion, respiratory comfort, and emotional balance, this gentle mountain herb offers a warm, grounding cup with notes of sage, lemon thyme, and soft mint.
Steeped in Mediterranean herbal wisdom and validated by modern science, Greek Mountain Tea is a beautiful evening ritual and a daily wellness practice. Brew a pot, slow down, and experience the clear, calm energy this ancient herb is known for.

Carrier delays: While rare and unfortunate, we cannot be responsible for carrier delays as they are out of our control. This refers to a package that is eventually delivered but encounters an in-transit delay which causes a later-than-expected delivery date.
Package returned to sender: If the carrier returns the package to us because it was unsuccessfully delivered, please contact us so we can provide a replacement shipment. Additional shipping charges may apply for an insufficient address provided at checkout (i.e., missing Apt. #, other incorrect details) or if the recipient refuses the package at delivery. We will use our discretion for any additional shipping charges to reach a fair and reasonable outcome.
Package lost or damaged during shipment: In the rare event the carrier deems the package lost, or if it arrives damaged, please contact us so we can help rectify the issue and send a replacement. We reserve the right to verify the package was lost using carrier tracking and any other methods available. You may be required to provide verification of the incident to our shipping insurance provider to support the claim.
