The Cistus incanus is a member of the rock rose family. The plant is predominantly found in southern Europe, where there is copious sunlight. This plant is considered one of the most polyphenol-rich in the world. The cistus can grow up to 1 metre tall and prefers chalky soil and silicate rocks. The plant folds its leaves in during the hot summer months when waiting for rain. The cistus blooms in the spring, bearing delicate pink flowers.

Cultivation & Processing

Location, Cultivation, Processing

The Cistus incanus variant of rock rose used in this tea originates from Chalkidiki, and is grown on Mt. Othrys in Greece. This region is well-known for its herbs. As a result of natural cultivation, our rock rose has a particularly high concentration of the polyphenol complex that rock rose is renowned for.

The organic karigane sencha is a blend of cultivars, mainly Yabukita and Okumidori but also other cultivars, from Chiran and Kagoshima in southern Japan. These refined versions of stem tea (kukicha: 80% stem and 20% leaves) are rich in amino acids, low in caffeine, and have a significantly high catechin content.

We also source our Greek mountain tea from Mt. Othrys. The variant we use, Sideritis scardica Type 2, has a very high content of anthocyanins.

All other herbs used in this blend are sourced from specialised farms with ideal growing conditions for herbs.
