OREGANO DRIED HERB FROM TURKEY

Oregano is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae. It is native to temperate Western and Southwestern Eurasia and the Mediterranean region.

 Oregano is a culinary herb, used for the flavour of its leaves, which can be more flavourful when dried than fresh. It has an aromatic, warm, and slightly bitter taste, which can vary in intensity. Good-quality oregano may be strong enough almost to numb the tongue. Among the chemical compounds contributing to the flavour are carvacrol, thymol, limonene, pinene, ocimene, and caryophyllene.

 Oregano's most prominent modern use is as the staple herb of Italian cuisine. There, it is most frequently used with roasted, fried, or grilled vegetables, meat, and fish.

The herb is widely used in cuisines of the Mediterranean Basin and Latin America, especially in Argentine cuisine.

 In Turkish cuisine, oregano is mostly used for flavouring meat, especially for mutton and lamb. In barbecue and kebab restaurants it can be usually found as a condiment, together with paprika, salt, and pepper.

 During the summer, generous amounts of dried oregano are often added as the aromatic and flavourful topping to a tomato and cucumber salad in Portugal, but it can be used to season meat and fish dishes as well.

 The dried and ground leaves are most often used in Greece to add flavour to Greek salad, and is usually added to the lemon-olive oil sauce that accompanies fish or meat grills and casseroles.

Brewing tips:

Classic: 2 to 3 grams, 200 mills of water at around 100C degrees, from 3 mins up to 10 mins depend on preferences. Drink warm NOT hot after meal. Can be used multiple times by the pot-full or cup, as the ease of extraction of the taste components increases with the permeation of hot water.

It is recommended to drink the infusion on an empty stomach, once a day and without sugar.

Packaging:

Someone say: our product deserved for exclusive packaging.

We rather say: our customers deserved for exclusive product with proper packaging without rising product price.

All our tea is hand processed at the day of dispatch. All our tea (loose-leaf tea and our teabags) is placed to the metal tin or two, three layers’ pouches and heat sealed at the day of dispatch to ensure freshness and aroma of the tea. We use different pouches to pack different teas as not all teas required same space. For example, Oolong tea in opposite to Pai Mu Tan required less space and we can easily put 200 grams in to big pouch when same pouch will contain no more than 80-100 gram of Pai Mu Tan tea. It is the reason we do not offer some tea such a Pai Mu Tan packed to metal tin when weight is higher than 50g.
