How it started
Imagine my surprise when I came to the Netherlands to study, and mountain tea was nowhere to be found. When I did find it, this lovely, delicious herbal tea was crushed in a tea bag hiding away a truly beautiful herb, with no visual link to nature. Time for big measures. I decided to bring my tea drinking and cultural traditions to Holland and started Lemon Poppy Tea or MNTN.TEA, our new name. Soon more about this.
Health benefits
Drinking mountain tea not only warms your heart. It benefits and supports your health all year round as it keeps you hydrated and has a relaxing effect on the body. Moreover, it contains no caffeine. The perfect tea to drink during cold or hot days and at times you feel a little stressed.
Our Mountain tea comes from the mountains of southern Albania. It is handpicked by local farmers and dried in a natural way to make sure all the best qualities of the tea are preserved. Our tea is 100% organic and as mentioned before it is caffeine-free.
Mountain tea in our collections
In our collection you will find The Classic. A box full of delicious Mountain tea. There is also a mini version.
But Mountain tea is also a perfect base for making special herbal tea blends. In our Soul blend, Power blend and Mama blend we combine mountain tea with herbs like hibiscus, wild sage, and chamomile. This results in teas that are not only rich in iron, but also full of minerals to help you lead a long and healthy life.

]]>Inspired by the hard working mamma’s, women and even the kiddos who during this past year of uncertainty have risen to the challenge of survival, growth and empowerment. We have seen an unprecedented shift in the power of gender dynamics and what we consider ‘women’s work’.
At the source of each blend is our Mountain Tea, the bedrock of what we do. Harvested in its natural state this powerful yet delicate whole flower tea creates the strong foundation from which we can build our Lovely Blends Collection.
The collection is composed of lovely leftovers. Just like our inspiring women who use the tools they have to educate, create and nurture we want to make sure our creations are sustainable and earth friendly. In our efforts to reduce waste we take any remains from breaking and prepping our teas and put them right back in the box, a small step to help keep our beautiful planet green.
