Raspberry leaves complete the blend, giving the tea its traditional herbal character.

The herbs in this blend have a long history of use in traditional home preparations. Mursalski tea is an iconic mountain plant of the Balkans, oregano is familiar both in cooking and in herbal infusions, lemon balm is valued for its fresh aroma, rose petals are used in fragrant drinks and culinary recipes, and raspberry leaves are a well-known ingredient in traditional herbal preparations. Together, they turn every cup into a pleasant sensory experience.

Five Herbal Ingredients with Distinctive Characteristics:

Each plant contributes its own aroma and has its place in traditional herbal use. In addition to offering a variety of flavours, some of these plants are also known for their traditional applications in herbal preparations. These uses relate to specific plant parts and preparations and do not mean that the same effects have been demonstrated for the finished tea blend.

• Mursalski mountain tea (Sideritis scardica) - an iconic mountain herb from the Balkans, also known as Pirin tea. It is traditionally used to prepare an aromatic hot drink. It has a distinctive herbal taste and mountain aroma. In traditional herbal practice, preparations made from the aerial parts of plants belonging to the genus Sideritis are also used for mild symptoms of the common cold and gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Oregano (Origanum vulgare) - an aromatic plant well known in Bulgarian cuisine and traditional herbal preparations. Oregano contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including phenolic substances and volatile aromatic constituents, which contribute to its characteristic fragrance. It is traditionally used to prepare herbal infusions and is associated with digestive comfort in folk herbal practice. Its rich, herbaceous and slightly spicy notes give the blend its distinctive character.
• Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) - a popular aromatic herb with a delicate lemony scent. Its leaves have traditionally been used to prepare herbal tea. In European traditional herbal practice, certain lemon balm leaf preparations are used to relieve mild symptoms of mental stress, aid sleep and relieve mild digestive complaints, including bloating and flatulence. These are traditional uses of specific preparations, not proven therapeutic effects of this particular blend. Lemon balm’s fresh aroma balances the more intense herbal notes.
• Rose - petals (Rosa species) - rose petals are valued for their delicate fragrance and traditional use in cooking, confectionery and the preparation of aromatic drinks. They contain naturally occurring plant polyphenols, including flavonoids and other phenolic compounds; their presence and levels depend on the rose species and processing method. In this blend, rose primarily contributes aroma, adding a delicate floral note.
• Raspberry - leaf (Rubus idaeus) - raspberry leaves have long been used in traditional herbal preparations. They contain tannins and other naturally occurring plant compounds. In European traditional herbal practice, certain raspberry leaf preparations are used for mild menstrual cramps, minor inflammation of the mouth and throat, and mild diarrhoea. These uses are based on longstanding traditional use rather than robust clinical evidence and should not automatically be attributed to the finished tea blend.
