What are the benefits of savory in herbal tea?

If I'm picking a plant from the Lamiaceae family, savory's the one for me!

Traditionally used for its digestive benefits, it is also considered an excellent tonic. Its aim? To show fatigue the door!

That's why it's so popular in sports: before exercise, it helps you concentrate; once you're done, it helps with recovery.

What kind of savory is used in Les 2 Marmottes herbal teas?

The savory used by our marmots is harvested in the Drôme region, in Southern France.

This perennial, which looks like a small shrub, can grow up to 50 cm high and has rather stiff stems. It likes the sun and well-drained soil.

On closer inspection, the leaves are slightly hairy around the edges and particularly fragrant.

Picked as soon as the warm weather arrives, they retain their intense fragrance when dried.

In which recipes do our brewmasters use savory?

Savory is used in our Lemon-Ginger tea.

Its fresh notes combine perfectly with the heat of black pepper and the spiciness of ginger.

At the risk of disappointing you, this is the only recipe to include savory. But our brewmasters are on the case!

Rome wasn't built in a day... And neither was a savory recipe!
