Description

Malotira is the mountain tea of Crete, the endemic plant that grows only on its mountains, the White Mountains and Psiloritis, at altitudes ranging from 800 to 2000 meters.

Traditionally, malotira was a morning beverage for the inhabitants of Western Crete and a medicinal herb used to treat colds, stomach ailments, and respiratory issues.

Modern scientific research has confirmed the beliefs of the Cretans regarding malotira. Specifically, it revealed the presence of valuable flavonoid compounds in both the plant and the infusion, which have significant pharmacodynamic effects in stimulating heart function, reducing blood pressure, promoting diuresis, and protecting against colds.

As an herbal tea, malotira is prepared and consumed in the same way as any other tea. A few floral stems, a cup, hot water, a few minutes, and your beverage is ready! Cretan mountain tea is an aromatic, flavorful, and light herbal tea that simultaneously offers multiple health benefits for your body.
