Malotira - Mountain Tea from Crete

Malotira, also known as mountain tea, is a unique herbal tea derived from gojnik, a plant that grows exclusively in the mountainous regions of Crete, at altitudes above 800 metres. This unique environment gives the tea its distinctive properties, making it prized for its remarkable qualities.

Known since ancient times and mentioned by such eminent thinkers as the philosopher Theophrastus and the physician Dioscorides, Malotira is rich in iron (Fe) and has been aptly named Sideritis, which means "iron" in Greek. This mountain plant is a source of flavonoids and essential oils, offering natural antibacterial and diuretic properties. Its delicate flavour and unique aroma make it a favourite among herbal teas.

Health benefits:

• It relieves colds and sore throats thanks to its soothing and antipyretic properties.
• Helps relieve indigestion, gastrointestinal discomfort and high blood pressure.
• Recent studies show strong antioxidant activity against cancer cells.
• Proven at the University of Athens to delay the development of osteoporosis and support brain function.
• It contains about 99 different active ingredients, and drinking large amounts of the infusion does not cause any negative effects.

Preparation instructions:

To prepare, steep 2-3 teaspoons of Malotira in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. For a refreshing taste, try adding lemon or honey to the cooled infusion.

Storage Instructions:

Store in a dry, dark place to maintain freshness and effectiveness. Keep the package tightly closed to prevent moisture and light exposure.
