'I grew up drinking Çaj Mali (‘ts-jai mali’) – that’s what we call mountain tea, or Sideritis Raeseri, in Albania. During the colder months, a hot cup of Çaj Mali with some honey and lemon was a real treat, and perfect for chasing away a winter cold. In fact, my family used to proudly tell me how this tea has been used for keeping healthy for thousands of years. Drinking Çaj Mali is a tradition deeply rooted in Albanian culture, but also one of its best kept secrets. Everyone has it in their kitchen cupboards, but you can’t order a steamy cup of mountain tea in local cafes. When I moved to the Netherlands to study I discovered that Çaj Mali was an even bigger secret – it was nowhere to be found. So I had to stock up with enough tea before leaving home to see me through the long Northern European winter nights. If I did manage to find mountain tea in a shop, it was always crushed up and disguised as a tea bag, hiding away a truly beautiful herb, with no visual link to nature. That’s what sparked the idea to bring mountain tea to Amsterdam, in all its whole-leaf, heart-warming glory.'
