The majority of these members of the labiate family grow wild, only some varieties are cultivated. Greek Mountain tea is rich in essential oils and its blossoms, stems and leaves set free the scent of fresh herbs with a hint of lemon when infused.

  2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The bioactive compounds in Greek mountain tea may have anti-inflammatory effects, potentially aiding in the management of inflammation-related conditions.

  3. Digestive Health: It is believed to have digestive benefits, helping to alleviate indigestion, bloating, and discomfort. It may also promote a healthy gut microbiome.

  7. Cognitive Health: Preliminary research suggests that Greek mountain tea may have cognitive benefits, potentially improving memory and cognitive function.

  8. Anti-Microbial Properties: The tea contains natural antimicrobial compounds that could help combat bacterial and viral infections.
