Stathakis Market

This is the cutest tea I have ever seen. The leaves are so soft-looking. White fluff abounds. The colors are muted tones of green and pink mixed with sparse yellow. Just cute all around. Back in 2022 my husband and I went to Greece, I am in love. It’s amazing over there. And while I love Greek Mountain tea, thanks to the Kalambaka Monasteries I also found a new love for this Crete tisane. I did not get a chance to see Crete but my parents (after listening to me rave about Greece) decided to go themselves. XD. They went to Crete and discovered this. This is a plant that is endemic to Crete. This mellow-tasting tisane has notes of a robust, chunky spaghetti sauce, thyme, oregano, and slight black pepper with dry woody notes and crumpled leaves. As I sit here and smell the liquor I can clearly see that rocky, barren, beautiful landscape of Santorini (aka Thera).
