and more mountain tea..

And some more pictures of the Malotira or Cretan Mountain tea collection.. somehow I do not manage to get them in the right order, but anyhow.. this pictures just so that you can appreciate how difficult the collection is... and how amazing the nature...
Above, we are well back home with our collection, ready now to bunch them for drying.. so here we are starting at the end of the story...
and going back, we see the herbs in the sacks.. Malotira
Carrying the harvest down form the mountains.. if you look carefully, even trousers didn't manage the work....
above you see the end of the collection, closing the sacks containing the harvest, here we are at some 1500m altitude...
Collecting by hand...
A rest on a mountain top, a drop of water...
and walking...
up and up....
back home now, I am cleaning some soaps, the rest of the gang is getting ready to bunch the Mountain tea...

as you can see here...
This a picture of the last part of carrying the harvest down to the car below...
and carrying...

Oh, here some sheep on their way up.. but we were faster!!!!!

  1. Wow, amazing! It's so incredible to be able to see all the steps you all take to collect the herbs. It looks like hard work, & also fun. :) I wish I can come help some day.
