Our Story

From the Greek Mountains to Your Teacup

Our journey began not in a boardroom, but around a kitchen table — with a steaming cup of Greek mountain tea and a quiet moment shared between two people who fell in love with both the drink and its story.

Mark, our founder, discovered Sideritis — known in Greece as tsai tou vounou or “mountain tea” — through his Greek partner’s family. What started as a calming evening ritual soon turned into a passion. Every trip to Greece meant packing bundles of this fragrant, earthy tea in his suitcase to bring back home.

But in the UK, authentic Greek mountain tea was hard to find — and never quite as pure, wild, or aromatic as the kind harvested in the mountains of Greece.

That’s when the idea was born:

Why not make it accessible to more people — and do it the right way?

 

🌱 What We Believe In

We’re more than just a tea brand. We’re a mission to share a piece of Greece, protect its traditions, and do right by the people who’ve harvested this tea for generations.

We work directly with small-scale farmers in rural Greece, ensuring fair prices and sustainable harvesting practices. Every bundle is handpicked, sun-dried, and shipped in its purest form — with no additives, no blends, just the real thing.

 

✨ A Taste of Home

For us, Greek mountain tea is more than a drink. It’s a daily ritual. A connection to nature. A comfort. A heritage.

Now, we’re proud to share that with you.

So take a moment. Put the kettle on. And sip something honest.
