Mountain tea belongs to the family Lamiaceae and the genus Sideritis. It includes a variety of species and thrives in sunny areas with high altitude. In fact, mountain tea plants “show” a particular preference for stony soils with an alkaline pH (6-8). This fact makes the area where the Herbs & Oils aromatic plant nursery<\/a> is located the most ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultivation of Mountain Tea – Production Process<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Initially taking the seed from the local population<\/strong>, Herbs & Oils<\/a> established its nursery in 2011, from where it is transplanted in the fall to properly prepared plots. By applying proper cultivation care, the lifespan of the plant reaches 5-6 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harvest takes place before full bloom and when the flowering stems begin to wood. The reason is that the content of essential oil and the aroma of the leaves is the best. It blooms from mid-June to mid-July, depending on the weather conditions of the area and the aboveground part of the plant is collected. The flowering stems are dried in the shade by natural drying at the company’s premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
