Greek mountain tea prefers to grow on rocky slopes above 1,000 meters above sea level and almost every mountain range has its own variety. The one offered by Daphnis and Chloe comes from a small farm in the Parnon Mountains, where the local variety has been cultivated for many years. It is noteworthy that all parts of the plant can be used for the intensely flavored tea, crushed with the help of fingers and/or scissors and dosed according to taste. The slightly sweet, floral aroma of the tea, which is already mentioned in Greek mythology as the drink of the Titans, comes into its own with a little honey.

Daphnis and Chloenamed after the late antique novel of the same name, is a company founded in Athens in 2013 that is entirely dedicated to the flavorful herbs and spices of the Greek peninsula. Daphnis and Chloe always pays attention to the mostly essential ingredients, whose content and intensity in the respective plants are largely determined by the sun, the soil and the sea. The geographical and microclimatic diversity of the Greek mountains and islands provides the variety from which Daphnis and Chloe carefully selects the locations where each plant naturally thrives best. Hand-picked and carefully packaged, these plants are delivered to the customer as they have grown naturally and have been gently dried after harvesting. Word of the exceptional quality of the herbs and spices from Daphnis and Chloe has long since spread to the professional catering trade.
