What Mountain tea is

Mountain tea is listed as a drink in the Albania guide, where the index tags it tea. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.

Mountain tea: common questions
What is Mountain tea?
Herbal infusion of wild thyme and sage, common in the north. It is listed in the TasteBridge Albania guide as a drink.
How much does Mountain tea cost in Albania?
Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.
Is Mountain tea vegetarian?
Mountain tea is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.
Where can I try Mountain tea?
Our index lists it across Albania, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
