Klio Organic Greek Mountain Tea - Mt. Olympus. High Flower Content. High Polyphenol and Antioxidant Levels - Lab Tested. Makes 25 Servings.

I love herbal teas and never tried this one so I decided to give it a try. It is wonderfully packed and plant material is in SUPERB condition ! It is obviously very fresh and harvested by hand. Taste is resembling aroma of some other mountain herbs and blends that I tried before but that was actually what I was hoping for. It is GREAT tea and please do follow instructions for brewing - if you use microwave and/or do not boil water with herbs inside for 2-3 min you will not get proper taste nor release of aromatic oils. I add small spoon of orange-blossom honey to 8 oz of strained brew and it becomes really amazing beverage.

I love the mild flavor of this tea, it is also caffeine free which makes it a great drink for the evening. I drink it hot with a bit of honey in it. I also make it iced as well and find it really refreshing in hot weather, I like it iced with or without honey. This brand is great because it is organic and the plant is also broken into smaller pieces already which makes it easier than having to snap it into pieces. I put a handful in the teapot and brew hot tea, once it has steeped I pour the tea into cups and then I leave the tea in the pot and brew another pot and let it steep for an hour, then I put the whole teapot in the fridge and let it steep overnight. In the morning I've got iced tea ready to go. It makes it go a long way and maximizes my purchase. Also, the Greeks have been using the tea for centuries to treat colds and respiratory infections. Maybe it is the placebo effect but in my opinion it works great on coughs and colds.

This lemon verbena is very good. It's kind of like a cross between lemon balm and lemongrass, and it's very mild but uplifting and flavorful. The leaves are somewhat whole, very dry and curled up. You can crush it easily if you want to break it down for herbal tea blends. It tastes really good, light and refreshing, and it makes a great base for various tea blends. Just for fun I added a freeze-dried raspberry to my cup of tea and it gave it the perfect flavor! I highly recommend this lemon verbena tea. ♡

The flavor of the tea is unique, and somewhat grassy, but that's to be expected considering it's made from a variety of plants as opposed to a traditional bag of ordinary tea leaves. One reviewer noted a fuzzy appearance. That isn't mold, it's just the way this tea looks. If you do an internet search for "greek mountain tea" or "shepherd's tea" you will find websites with product pictures that show this tea sometimes does have that same fuzzy appearance, like the reviewer noticed in theirs. So I think it's okay. In any case, I'm drinking some that looks fuzzy and I have no worries.

This is a lovely tea for after dinner or anytime, really. Although I like the earthy, herbal taste, I find that a small amount of raw Oregon honey from my hives enhances it greatly. Greek honey sold by Klio is excellent (most honey I tasted in Greece is good, especially the wild thyme honey). if you have hives or access to them, I strongly encourage you to use local honey. This is a decaffeinated tea, but hits all the right notes for a warming beverage. Highly recommended. Be sure to read all the health benefits on the package - that's the bonus.

I'm new to Greek tea but being a "tea" enthusiast, I was interested in trying this after reading about it. Of course it's not traditional tea, it's herbal, but you knew that right. The taste is complex and earthy, but mild and subtle at the same time. Good stuff. It's ok plain but I find adding some honey really opens it up. The brew technique is a little different than most herbals. Here you actually boil it for 3 or 4 mins and then let it steep for 5 or 6 minutes after that. Letting it go longer does not hurt the taste it only makes it better so go ahead and let it steep for 10 mins if you want. Enjoy.

I did not seek out this tea, but purchased as an add-on to an order for honey. The honey was disappointing, but this tea is far better than I anticipated. Better than the mountain tea we drink in Greece! It has been a very relaxing way to end our chilly winter days. I look forward to trying other teas from this company.

Ordered in Jan 2023 and received a product that said best by 09/2021. So basically I paid for something that expired nearly two years ago.
