Athena's Shrub – A Robust & Invigorating Herbal Blend
Bask in the golden warmth of Athena's Shrub, an herbal blend that captures the bold, sun-drenched essence of coastal hillsides. At its core lies Oregano, earthy and aromatic, with its peppery-green vigor reminiscent of breezy herb gardens under an open sky. Olive leaves lend a smooth, slightly bitter depth—an ancient whisper of gnarled trees and silver-green groves, carrying the resilience of the Mediterranean itself.
Then, a bright spark: Cracked White Pepper dances across the palate with a crisp, clean heat—not fiery, but luminous, like sunlight glancing off whitewashed stone. Together, these elements create a harmony of strength and simplicity—a cup that awakens the senses while grounding the spirit.
Ideal for moments when you crave clarity and vitality, Athena's Shrub is more than a blend —it’s a journey to sunlit shores, bottled in every gram.
