FAQ
Questions & answers
Tea, gliko, gifts and delivery.
How does ordering work?
Add products to your cart, then enter your delivery address. Checkout shows the delivery charge, payment options and full total before you order. In Albania you can pay cash on delivery.
Where do you ship?
EU destinations are the standard starting point. The UK, US, and other destinations are considered per order because food, honey, and plant-material rules can differ and change.
Why are prices different inside Albania?
Orders delivered within Albania use our Local Table pricing. Orders traveling abroad use Export pricing, which reflects the additional packing, handling, and destination-specific work required to carry small-batch Albanian goods beyond Albania.
What does the research say about mountain tea?
Wightman et al. (Nutrients, 2018) assessed cognition in 140 adults aged 50–70 over 28 days. A daily 950 mg Sideritis scardica extract improved attention accuracy and reduced state anxiety against placebo. Both tested doses, 475 and 950 mg, increased cerebral blood-flow measures on day 1, but not day 28. The study used a standardised extract; a brewed cup is a different preparation.

How long does gliko keep?
Follow the jar label first. Storage depends on recipe, processing, seal, and local food rules. Use a clean utensil, refrigerate after opening when directed, and discard any jar with a broken seal or signs of spoilage.
Does green walnut gliko contain an allergen?
Yes. Green walnut is a tree-nut product. Anyone with an allergy should rely on the exact product label and producer information for the current batch.
Can I build a custom gift set?
Yes. Write with a budget, count, destination, required date, and occasion. We suggest a focused combination and quote it before charging anything.
