Sideritis scardica Griseb.
Mountain tea (Sideritis scardica), also known as Greek mountain tea or ironwort, is a high-altitude Balkan herb with a deeply rooted tradition of use and growing scientific interest. Its aerial parts are rich in flavonoids, terpenoids, phenylethanoid glycosides and essential oil compounds — a profile associated with antioxidant, cognitive and immune-supportive effects.
Bioform's mountain tea is grown and harvested from certified organic cultivations in Bulgaria and dried whole to preserve the integrity of the flowering tops, which are the most aromatic and bioactive part of the plant. Available whole stems or cut and sifted for premium tea blending and supplement applications. Full COA and microbiological documentation supplied per batch.
