What is Greek Mountain Tea and Why is it Good for You?

Greek Mountain Tea, known in Greece as Tsai tou Vounou, is one of the most treasured herbal teas in the world. Made from the dried flowers and leaves of the Sideritis plant, it grows wild in the rocky highlands of Greece at altitudes above 1,000 meters.
