Vrino

*Note: I’ll be adding this to the GCTTB and I recommend everyone try it. I really love the flavour and think it is very unique. Especially if you like herbals, do yourself a favour and sip this on a stressful day.

Received this as a present from my Greek friend for Christmas! I love Greek mountain tea.

I’m usually impatient with its long steep time, but it is worth it. Greek mountain tea has a distinctly lemon/pepper flavour. There are (not unpleasant) notes of soap, dried bay leaf, and sage. Despite the resemblance to savoury herbs, I wouldn’t say this is a savoury tea any more than chamomile is. The dried grass flavour in combination with the lemony one is fantastic.
