mountain tea
Greek herbal brew
Mountain tea is an herbal infusion made from dried plants of the genus *Sideritis*, native to Mediterranean mountain regions.
Popular in Greece, Turkey, and the Balkans, it's valued for its mild, earthy flavor and traditional use as a remedy for colds and digestive complaints: We drank mountain tea by the fire after hiking.
