Cretan Malotira is a unique aromatic herb for energizing herbal teas with various beneficial properties. Against the diseases of the circulatory system of the human body, against respiratory problems, especially for the treatment of colds and coughs.
Malotira!
Do you know what it is?
It looks so much like mountain tea and many think they are the same!
The first time that the cousins Kostas & Yiannis Fragiadakis tried to cultivate this beneficial Cretan herb failed. The plants have been shown to be the classic (but beautiful) mountain tea.
With much perseverance and systematic cultivation care they developed the local Cretan Malotira and offered it as a separate item with their products Iliostasio.
Malotira is suitable for colds and respiratory diseases as well as disorders of the urinary tract because of its diuretic effect. Ideally if we add honey and cinnamon sticks into warm herb tea act as antiseptic to cough. Also it is beneficial against circulatory diseases.
Use: Prepare as a herb tea. Boil for about 4 minutes.

Brought back to me from Greece by one of my local tea drinking buddies. She had a cup of it while traveling and loved it.
The tea leaves remind me of dried sage with big, fuzzy leaves and a green/grey color. I have used just a pinch of the leaves in my infuser and it is enough for a steep or two.
Packaging recommended 100C for 5-10. I went with 5 minutes. The tea is light brown in color. Very herbaceous, as expected, with an earthy flavor. There is a very slight sweetness but I enjoy it more with a smidge of honey.
Flavors: Herbaceous, Sage, Vegetal
I LOVe this tisane too!!!
