Backlog from a few nights ago.
Many thanks to LiberTEAS for hosting a giveaway of this tea on her blog! I was one of the winners, and I was astonished by the size of the prize pack I got from Klio. Two bags of tea plus a beautiful Bodum mug.
Now, I may love tea, but even 150g of tea in one go (especially one so fluffy) is a lot for me. And I have a lot of travel mugs. So I’m keeping one bag of this tea for myself and giving the other bag plus the mug to my sister as a birthday present. Her birthday is one month from today, so it’s perfect timing!
As for the tea itself? I’ve had Mountain Tea before – it’s a common drink in Macedonia, where my parents are from, as well as Greece. However, the mountain tea we have in the house is several years old and somewhat stale. In comparison, this is fresh, fresh fresh!
When you open the bag, it smells beautiful. There’s a green sharpness underneath that reminds me of fresh cut grass, but there’s also the brightness of lemon and the earthiness of chamomile. I’m not a big chamomile fan, but I don’t mind the hint here.
When I brewed this a few nights ago I oversteeped it, but it wasn’t that bitter. I will definitely be holding onto this.

Mmmm Sounds yummy.
Apparently this company will also be releasing mountain-grown lemon verbena tea. I can’t wait to try that.
I enjoyed this too! I didn’t think I would when I opened the pouch and saw what looked like bits of sagebrush from my backyard when I was young and living out in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. But I was very pleased with the flavor.
