Question 1

where is this tea from?

Accepted Answer

This tea grows atop Mt. Taygetos, a famous mountain near the famed city of Sparta, in the southern area of Greece known as the Peloponnese.  The Mt. Taygetos area is being considered to become a national park, such as the Mt. Olympus area is.  The mountain is the highest peak in the Peloponnese.  It is a fabulous area to hike, and, of course, in ancient times, military men prized the tea as a curative from battle wounds.  Even today, it is sold in its natural state, so that a consumer would be drinking the same brew the ancient warriors themselves drank.
