Using the traditional recipe of roasted spring barley and wild mountain mint, we have resurrected Kykeon, an ancient Greek tisane, for the first time in modern history. In fact, Kykeon, has not been sold for over two thousand years. In ancient Greece, Kykeon was commonly drunk to break fasts and was noted for its digestive properties. Nutty, refreshing and delicately minty, we have carefully sourced and blended our ingredients to ensure each sip has the best flavour and health benefits, encapsulating ancient Greek history and tradition.

Naturally grown without the use of any pesticides or chemicals, our roasted spring barley is harvested 1,200 - 1,500m above sea level from the Zangezur Mountains of Armenia. Only the outer husks have been removed (and the barley itself has not been pearled), which means higher nutritional content within each grain. Our spring barley is lightly roasted to bring out the earth, nutty and sweet flavours. Once in the UK, the ingredients are blended in accordance to our secret award-winning recipe.
Kykeon may be drunk hot or ice-cold, and may be enjoyed before a meal to aid digestion or during or after exercise for increased hydration.
