Herbal Tea Collection : Green Melissa

Special flavour of Green Melissa is created by the balanced combination of green tea and aromatic herbals – mint and melissa.

Greenfield Green Melissa

… Persephone, jealous wife of the underworld ruler god Hades once found her husband in arms of the beautiful nymph Mint. In rage she turned Mint into low green grass and even almighty Hades could not return to the nymph her human image. The only thing he managed to do for her afterwards was to give to the plant strong, fresh and spicy aroma.
This is how the fragrant mint appeared on the Earth as the ancient Greeks believed. They also knew that that mint effectively cured many diseases, kept mind flexible and emotions balanced. Mint aroma was a good sign, it elevated mood and made table talk more vivid. For this reason dining halls were sprayed with mint water, tables were rubbed with mint leaves and guests were often offered mint diadems.
History of melissa is not less interesting. Great Avitsenna pointed at the healing properties of this plant with fine aroma similar to that of juicy lemon and recommended melissa as a remedy from heart diseases.
In the bouquet of Green Melissa mild natural lemon-like aroma of melissa and light spiciness of mint underline fine flavour of astringent Chinese tea. Brew of this tea has clean greenish colour, very tender silky flavour and aroma combining various spicy notes. This tea effectively refreshes and helps to relax.
