From Stathakis Market

Dictamo, also known as erontas, is the most famous Cretan herb as it thrives ONLY in Crete. It is traditionally considered an effective “medicine” for stomach disorders, which is why it is also known in these areas as a stomach herb. Dictamo alleviates headaches, neuralgia, liver disease, but also period pains. Dittany essential oil relieves muscle, rheumatic pains, but also skin diseases.

This is the cutest tea I have ever seen. The leaves are so soft-looking. White fluff abounds. The colors are muted tones of green and pink mixed with sparse yellow. Just cute all around. Back in 2022 my husband and I went to Greece, I am in love. It’s amazing over there. And while I love Greek Mountain tea, thanks to the Kalambaka Monasteries I also found a new love for this Crete tisane. I did not get a chance to see Crete but my parents (after listening to me rave about Greece) decided to go themselves. XD. They went to Crete and discovered this. This is a plant that is endemic to Crete. This mellow-tasting tisane has notes of a robust, chunky spaghetti sauce, thyme, oregano, and slight black pepper with dry woody notes and crumpled leaves. As I sit here and smell the liquor I can clearly see that rocky, barren, beautiful landscape of Santorini (aka Thera).
