Autumn at Stična
Getting ready for winter.
Chest Tea, Nosopret and Mullein Syrup in one package: the three products most asked for in the colder months. Traditionally used for colds and coughs.
Winter at Stična
For the days when the throat bites.
Chest Tea to Ašič's recipe, with lime flower, ribwort plantain and marshmallow. Traditionally used for colds and coughs.
Spring in the monastery garden
The first leaves are the strongest.
Nettle, dandelion and birch come up first. Folk tradition made them the spring cleanse; here they are the blend we drink until the end of May.
Summer, the gathering season
Picked in its own season.
Chamomile, marigold and lime flower one after another, each for a few weeks. What we dry in summer, we drink all year.

What our customers say
-
I have been buying the St John's wort oil for years and it always helps. The parcel came in two days, with a slip inside telling me how to store it.
-
I rang and said what was troubling me. The pharmacist took her time and explained which tea to take and how to make it. You get that kind of service nowhere else.
-
My mother and I were at the tea room in Stična. We bought a bitters and two teas, and had a look at the garden too. We go back every spring.
