Greek Mountain Tea Recipe

Straight from the teapot of the ancient Greeks, Greek Mountain Tea is so
relaxing! This special tea, also known as shepherd’s tea, comes from the dried
flowers of the Sideritis plant found in the Greek mountains. It's full of
antioxidants, supports your immune system, and has a great earthy taste with a
floral twist. Plus, it's caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it any time of the day
without a buzz. Whether you're winding down or need a little natural boost, this
tea is just the thing!
