Greek Sage

$12.00

These beautiful leaves of Sage come from a lovely couple of farmers, who cultivate local varieties of herbs on the island of Crete. The infusion of sage has been one of the island’s most popular herbal teas for centuries. According to local legend, Cretans owe their longevity to this herb. Daphne and Chloe’s harvesters separate the leaves from the stem by hand, following an industrious process that allows you to revive the aromas right when needed.

How to Use

As an Infusion: You’ll need a teaspoon (1g) per tea cup, dosage on taste. Simmer for 6 minutes in freshly boiled water, covered. Strain and serve warm. Folklore herbal guides suggest lemon and honey infused sage as a great remedy for the flu.

As a seasoning: Gentle, fresh and flowery, our sage brings a balance to strong flavors such as poultry, pork roast and herbed butter. This variety makes a mark even when used in very small quantities. Add leaves at the beginning & discard before serving. Alternatively grind along with coarse salt and black pepper to sprinkle over a butter, sage and anchovy bruschetta.
