Greek mountain tea
Description of the productIn Greek, the Greek Mountain Tea is pronounced: tsah-ee too voo-noo. Greek Mountain Tea is produced from the dried leaves and flowers of Sideritis plants (ironwort). This kind of tea is appropriately named as the plant can only be found on rocky slopes at elevations over 3,200 feet (1000 meters). These plants are hardy flowering perennials that have adapted to survive with little water and little soil. Only one type of this plant, Sideritis raeseri, can be cultivated by humans and only in Greece; otherwise, this and other types are gathered in the wild.
The most common English name other than Mountain Tea is "Shepherd's Tea", because Greek shepherds would use the plants to make a brewed tea while tending their flocks high in the hills. However, almost every region of Greece has developed its own name for this plant reflecting the name of the mountain where it grows. We named our tea as "Harmony Mountain Tea" to reflect product’s medical benefits. This particular kind of mountain tea is cultivated at Orthys Mountain (Country: Greece, County: Magnesia) by locals. Company’s aspiration and our people’s mission is to bring the flavors of Greece all around the world.

In Greece, you can find this particular kind of tea in grocery shops, pharmacies, herb-and-spice shops, or it can be picked fresh and dried at home. Outside Greece, you can ask for it by name: "Greek Mountain Tea", or "Greek Mountain Shepherd's Tea", or by using our brand name: "Harmony Mountain Tea".

Mythology
Greeks refer to it as the tea of the Titans. In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Ti-tânes) were a race of very powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. There were two generations of Titans (First generation: Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius and Iapetus and the females were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea and Themis;Second generation: Hyperion's children Eos, Helios, and Selene; Coeus's daughters Leto and Asteria; Iapetus's sons Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; Oceanus' daughter Metis; and Crius's sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses). Because of Titans mythical size and power various large things have been named after that as "titanic" to indicate its enormous size. Furthermore, the element titanium is named for the titans, and one of Saturn's moons, Titan is also named after the Titans.
