Kolesterko
This is a distinctive tea blend of nettle leaf, blackberries and mint that will significantly alleviate the problems caused by excessive cholesterol.
Today’s way of diet favors the formation of cholesterol in the blood vessels. The combination of plants such as domestic nettle, mint, hawthorn, yarrow and Dalmatian sage can alleviate problems caused by excessive cholesterol. “Vampire” plant such as hawthorn, which our ancestors used to chase the vampires, is known that, in certain doses, can be used for better circulation and heart function.
A combination of blackberry and nettle leaves is known from the traditional recipes, and today is used for cardiovascular ailments. Dalmatian sage, which is harvested in the unpolluted parts of Dalmatia away from the road, gives a unique touch to this tea. In the tea blend, there are herbs like sweet mint flavor, astringency nettle, sage bitterness, but also the particular flavor of blackberry leaf that might remind the great connoisseurs of tea on the taste of black tea. It is a very tasty as a cold beverage, so we recommend it in the summer time because of mint, besides cleaning and strengthening the liver, also cools the body.
