From the inflorescences and leaves of this plant, one of the most delicious herbal teas can be prepared. They are harvested at the beginning of June during their main blooming period and hung up on a dark, well-aired place for drying. With a little bit of fresh lemon juice, the tea tastes excellent, hot, or cool. The fresh flavour stimulates and calms at the same time. In its countries of origin, Greece, Turkey, and Syria, the Mountain Tea has a very long tradition as both, a drink and a remedy. It's said to be anti-inflammatory and immune-strengthening.

The remarkable, perennial shrub with its attractive, felted-white leaves feels home in sparse, nutrient-poor, and dry places in the sun. In our widths, it is, therefore, very suitable as an ornamental plant for the stone garden or for the herb spiral. The highest place is reserved for mountain tea here.

Gute Samenqualität
Für mich eine gute Wahl. Fast alle ausgesähten Samen sind auch aufgegangen. Der Bergtee braucht etwas Zeit und wächst bei mir eher langsam. Ich bin gespannt aufs kommende Jahr.

:-(
Leider kaum Samen in der Packung, dafür aber viele. Schmutzpartikel.

Das war ziemlich enttäuchend.
