What is Sideritis Scardica?
Sideritis scardica is a specific strain of sideritis, a flowering plant that grows wild on the mountains of Greece as well as parts of the Balkans.
The name “sideritis” roughly translates to “he who is made of iron”, which is where the name ironwort comes from.
In the English-speaking world, Greek mountain tea is more commonly used, but it is also known as shepherd’s tea or simply Greek tea.
