It is indigenous to Crete, Greece, where it symbolizes birth and love. Its local name in Crete ("love") is due to the fact that it likes to grow in very steep slopes on the rocky mountains of Crete. The young men used to show their courage and their love to their beloved ones by risking their lives picking it up and offering it to them.
It was used in medicine in Ancient Greece for its pharmaceutical properties on stomach aches and complaints of the digestive system. It is thought that wild beasts used to eat it to help them heal themselves when injured by hunters.
This is 100% percent pure, high quality and unadulterated Greek Dictamus at a very reasonable price.

Right, but not quite. A few corrections about facts
a) scientific name: Dictamus Creticus,( Creticus indicating the fact that it is indigenous to Crete) Dictamus originates from the name of the DIcti mountain range, located in the prefecture of Lassithi on the NE of the island. Where the famous Diktaion Andron (cave) the birth place of Zeus is located.
b) Erondas the local dialect word for love was indeed given Lisa K. - 
This tea is without caffeine and has various medicinal properties. You should look it up. It makes a unique cup of tea and I was first introduced to it by a friend. Quite hard to find and also a bit expensive. Helen L. -
This is a question. Is Dictamus with or without caffiene?
Thank you
I had this tea in Crete during our trip in June. The taste is wonderful and unusual. I couldn't find anywhere to buy it there. Tony A. -
The dictamus you sell is fresh and of very good quality. Although dictamus is hard to find the stuff I have previously bought is really bad quality in comparison. You also should inform your customers about its medicinal properties and a better description on how it actually taste would be good too.

It first tried this herbal tea in Crete while on my vacation. Immediately I realized why it was so popular. Happy to see that you offer it.
