Sideritis also known as Greek Mountaint Tea genus of flowering plants widely known for their use in herbal medicine as well as an herbal tea.
This special tea is historically known as “Shepherd’s Tea” because Greek shepherds would make a brewed tea out of the plants while directing their flocks on the hillsides.

This tea consists of select handpicked dried flowers, leaves and stems of the native Sideritis plant which grow wild throughout the mountainous regions of Greece.
The herb was well known to ancient Greeks, particularly to the pharmacologist/botanist Dioscurides, philosopher Theophrastus and to the father or modern medicine Hippocrates.
