drank Greek Mountain Tea by Vrino
2958 tasting notes

*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.

Flavors: Bamboo, Black Pepper, Citrus, Dry Grass, Herbaceous, Herbs, Lemon, Pepper, Sage

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
