Liver tea

In one of the best-preserved places, the Fathers of the Holy Monastery of Xenophontos use the healing and aromatic properties of wild and cultivated herbs both in medicine and in cooking. The herbs for this tea are gathered from the wild nature around the Holy Monastery of Xenophontos and are grown in the monastery gardens without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers. They are hand-picked, gently rubbed, and naturally dried to preserve their valuable properties. The composition of the tea is carefully selected according to the healing effect of each herb and follows traditional Athonite recipes passed down through the centuries.
