Summary

Mediterranean Mountain is not just a tea; it's a journey through the fragrant, sun-baked hills of the Mediterranean. This herbal tisane blends the classic flavors of marjoram, sage, rosemary, and spearmint—each a staple in Mediterranean folk remedies and cuisines. Each cup promises a nurturing warmth with each sip, boasting a herbaceous character that's both soothing and invigorating.

History

Mediterranean Mountain tea is steeped (pun intended) in the traditions of Mediterranean herbal medicine. Each herb in this blend—marjoram, sage, rosemary, and spearmint—has been used since ancient times, not just for their flavors but for their reputed health benefits. Marjoram was known in Greek and Roman eras as a symbol of happiness, sage was revered for its wisdom-enhancing properties, rosemary was a love charm, and spearmint was a staple in medieval medicines. This blend is a modern tribute to these age-old herbs that have been passed down through generations.

The use of these herbs varies across different Mediterranean cultures, reflecting the diverse culinary landscapes of the region. For instance, while rosemary and sage are often found in the hearty dishes of Italy and France, marjoram and spearmint might be spotted in the lighter, zestier fare of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Why We Love It

The robust, yet soothing flavors of marjoram, sage, rosemary, and spearmint blend together to create a cup that's both calming and refreshing. It's our go-to for a peaceful morning start or a relaxing evening wind-down. Plus, it's caffeine-free, making it perfect for any time of day.
