Greek Mountain Tea

Music pairing: Dmitri Shostakovich, “Tea for Two”.

A phenomenal hit of the 1920s, ingeniously arranged by Russian Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), who adored challenges. So, he orchestrated the song in only 40 minutes, just because he wanted to win a bet! Wit, humour, delicacy, finesse in less than 5 minutes of highly entertaining music.

Greek mountain tea: an age-old herbal beverage with extraordinary healing properties. It has been used for centuries by local populations of continental and insular areas of Greece as a home remedy to ease sore throats and to prevent colds in winter. It comes from a plant called sideritis or irowort. It is caffeine- and theine-free. Just let the stems, the leaves, and the flowers brew in hot water without boiling them. To be combined with pine or thyme honey by all means!
