Organic sage from Lemnos (salvia triloba) 30 g

Product Description Organic sage from Lemnos (Salvia triloba, also known as Salvia fruticosa) is one of the most valuable aromatic and medicinal plants in the Mediterranean. It is cultivated using natural, dry methods in the unique volcanic soils of Lemnos, where the microclimate, sun, and winds contribute to a plant with an exceptionally high concentration of essential oils. Its aroma is earthy, warm, and slightly camphoraceous, while its taste is characterized by a mild bitterness and intense fragrance. The product is available in 30 g packages and is suitable for both everyday use in cooking and as a therapeutic infusion. Scientific Identity & Chemical Profile Salvia triloba belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is closely related to Salvia officinalis. Its chemical composition is rich in bioactive compounds, such as: Cineole (1,8-cineole) Camphor α- and β–Thujone Rosmarinic acid Carnosic acid & carnosol (powerful antioxidants) Flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin) Antioxidant Properties   Sage is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants in Mediterranean flora. The compounds carnosic acid, carnosol, and rosmarinic acid have been documented for their action against free radicals, which are associated with premature aging, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Research shows that Salvia triloba extracts have higher antioxidant performance compared to other common herbal infusions.

How to prepare the tea correctly? (see the Recipes article)   Boil fresh water and let it cool for 1 minute (~90°C). Fresh water contains a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen, which contributes to the final taste of the tea. Add approximately 1 teaspoon of herbs per 250 ml of water. Leave for only 2–3 minutes. Prolonged extraction will have negative effects as tannins and phenolic acids will be extracted, resulting in less aroma and more bitterness. Strain immediately and optionally add honey or lemon or some other sweetener and enjoy. For maximum antioxidant preservation, avoid boiling – according to studies, infusion in hot but not boiling water better protects the essential oils.
