The plant originates from the area below Mursalitsa Mountain in the Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria. For a long time, this aromatic herb has been used by the people of the Rhodope Mountains for its medicinal properties and to add flavor to various drinks. Shepherds have for centuries drunk the tea to keep warm and alert during their journeys. The plant's popularity has spread beyond its native lands thanks to its unique qualities and benefits.</p> <p>Among the most valuable qualities of Greek Mountain Tea is its medicinal value. It has traditionally been used to ease digestive troubles and has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and pain. Its aromatic leaves are used to make tea and drinks that provide a refreshing and spicy taste experience.</p> <p>Most of the genus <meta charset="utf-8">Ironworts (<em>Sideritis</em>) are called "Mountain Tea," many of which are specifically called Greek Mountain Tea, although not all varieties originate from Greece. As described above, these seeds come from the unique variety that grows just below Mursalitsa Mountain in Bulgaria and has been drunk by the Rhodope people for centuries.</p> <p>The tea has different taste and effect depending on where it has grown—even if it is the same species. This is partly due to soil and altitude. Teas from <em>Sideritis scardica</em> can thus be distinguished and for example called "Olympus Mountain Tea" if grown on Mt. Olympus in Greece, "Titan Mountain Tea" if grown on Mt. Othrys (Titan Mountain), and "Mursalski Mountain Tea" if grown on Mt. Mursalitsa.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation:</strong></p> <p>Greek Mountain Tea thrives best in sunny locations and well-drained soil. This perennial herb loves warmth and is very drought-resistant once established. For best results, the plant should be overwintered frost-free. However, it can survive outdoors in favorable locations in zones 1-2.</p> <p>To obtain the highest possible content of bioactive compounds in the leaves, harvesting early in the morning is recommended.<br><br><strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p><span>Sow the seeds in moist seed soil and cover only with a thin layer of soil.

However, the uses of Shiso are wide-ranging.</span></p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s1">Larger leaves can be used to wrap <i>bulgogi</i> , a Korean beef dish. Leaves from purple-colored Shiso varieties are used in Japan to color and flavor pickles: e.g. ginger and plum. Older leaves can also be salted and used to flavor tofu and as a garnish for <i>tempura</i> . Since the leaves have a "curry-like" flavor, they are an ingredient in many soups and stews. It is also common to make dishes with steamed Shiso leaves, e.g. <em>Perilla Leaf Kimchi</em> .

The leaves are used in the treatment of colds, respiratory infections, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. (Yeung. Him-Che.). The seeds are antiasthmatic, cough suppressant, emollient and expectorant. The juice from the leaves is applied to cuts and wounds (Manandhar. NP). Extracts from the plant are used internally in the treatment of asthma, colds and chills, nausea, abdominal pain, food poisoning and allergic reactions (especially those from shellfish), bronchitis and constipation (Duke. JA and Ayensu. ES). The stems are a traditional Chinese remedy for morning sickness (Bown. D.).</p> <p>Extracts of the herb have recently begun to be used in the Western world, against certain allergies and as an alternative to antibiotics and cortisone. In the last 20 years or so, there has been interest in the herb's effect on asthma (Almark L. &amp; Flising L. - Swedish Herbal Society).</p> <p> <strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation</strong> <span data-mce-fragment="1">:</span></p> <p> Does best in a light, moisture-retaining soil in a sunny location.

The 'Ki Nok' variety is one that has arisen in Southeast Asia with abundant production of smaller fruits, about 6-7 cm in diameter. The fruit's outer skin changes from green to yellow when ripe, as does the flesh. The fruits can also be eaten when green and then have a crisper texture – in Asia, the green fruits are sliced into wedges and dipped in a mixture of sugar, salt, and chili – surprisingly tasty.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>The fascinating thing about the guava fruit is that it has two different "layers" with different flavors. The outer layer (including the skin and about a centimeter inside) tastes slightly "piney," while the innermost layer tastes tropical and sweet. The flavor can be described as a mix between pear, mango & strawberry for those who have not tasted guava before. The outer layer, including the taste, decreases in thickness as the fruit ripens.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>The tree can grow up to 10 meters tall. </span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span>Guava is a rich source of vitamin C and other antioxidants.

However, it prefers well-drained, sandy soil with a pH level between 6 and 7. Guava thrives best in a warm climate with high temperatures and high humidity but can also tolerate lower temperatures down to the frost limit. Growing in a greenhouse is therefore preferable, or alternatively frost-free overwintering. </p> <p>The plant location is important for guava; the tree thrives best in full sun or partial shade. But it is important to ensure the tree does not get too much direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, as this can cause damage to leaves and fruit.</p> <p>Guava is a drought-tolerant plant and can withstand long periods without water. But for the best fruit production, the soil should be kept moist and fertilized regularly with a balanced fertilizer. It is also important to prune the tree regularly to control its size and to promote fruit production.</p> <p>The harvest period varies depending on the growing conditions, but guava trees are usually ready for harvest 2-3 years after planting.
