A member of the mint family, sage traces its origins to the northern Mediterranean coast where it was not only a culinary staple but a traditional healing remedy. First mentioned in between 50 and 70 AD, sage is still prized for its multitude of health benefits today. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, sage is known not only to help boost memory, but to help manage the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia. This magical herb also balances glucose and cholesterol levels and can offset the symptoms of menopause. Krinos Organic Mountain Sage is carefully harvested from wild plants growing on Mount Othrys in Central Greece. Because our organic sage includes both the stems and the leaves, it is perfect for butter or olive oil basting, marinades and roasts. Krinos Greek Mountain Sage has a slightly minty, earthy flavor. A traditional seasoning in sausages and Thanskgiving stuffing recipes, sage is also a classic ingredient in many Mediterranean dishes - like butternut squash pasta with sage brown butter. For a drink to warm you on a cold night, enjoy the leaves of our organic sage in a homemade infusion with Krinos Chamomile Flowers, fresh mint and fennel seeds.

In the 5th century BC, Hippocrates, the Greek Physician considered the “Father of Western Medicine,” first recommended Greek Mountain Tea as a natural remedy to help boost the immune system and to aid in respiration. As recently as 2015, a major scientific study lauded Greek Mountain Tea for having the same excellent health benefits and antioxidant properties as Green Tea. Greek Mountain Tea is derived from the dried yellow flowers, leaves and stems of the Sideritis plant that flourishes uniquely on rocky mountain peaks. At Krinos, we carefully hand-cull our fragrant harvest from organic Sideritis Plants growing on Mount Othrys in central Greece. Our loose tea has a wonderfully earthy full flavor and aroma, with notes of mint and citrus. This tea is so popular in Greece, and so enmeshed in the Mediterranean Diet and culture, that it’s savored and taken to heal “whatever ails you.” One sip of Krinos Organic Greek Mountain Tea, and you will be transported! Enjoy hot or iced. Naturally caffeine-free.
