Why it's worth it
Mursalski tea (Sideritis scardica) is a wild mountain herb from Bulgaria's Rhodope range, brewed as a caffeine-free tisane and prized as a cold-and-immunity remedy from a region famed for longevity. It is a genuinely Bulgarian herbal specialty with no Czech shelf equivalent, and a light, packable souvenir.
