Tea

Oregano is perhaps the most basic ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. It is known for the distinctive scent and taste in food nevertheless it has many therapeutical properties too.

The beverage from mountain tree blossoms is traditionally used for its heating effect, as well as for its beneficial effect in colds and inflammations of the upper respiratory system, disorders of the gastrointestinal system and indigestion.

The leaves and blossoms of thyme with the strong, mildly spicy rich flavour are used as a spice for scenting various foods. The two basic essential oils contained in thyme, thymol and carvacrol, give thyme special antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties.
