peppermint tea in Greece and Turkey?

I think I had linden tea in Turkey and I really enjoyed it, but not more than their regular (nice and strong) black tea that comes in the traditional tulip shaped glasses (you will see them everywhere). Merchants also sell so many kinds of tea leaves in the markets, you'll be overwhelmed with choices (green, apple, melon, rosehip, pomegranate, etc). I think of Morrocco when it comes to mint type teas more than Turkey.

I would also assume you can find fennel (anise) tea, as fennel is common on Greek isles.

I don't know if you can find peppermint tea, but in Greece they have an herbal tea called "mountain tea" which you should probably try, although it tastes closer to sage than to mint.
And be careful, in many places what is known as "mint tea" is green tea with mint (i.e. Moroccan mint tea).

To be on the safe side, a package of mint teabags from home would be light to pack. And one less thing to worry about on day 1, so you could buy local as you find it.

I rarely drink pure mint tea myself so I don't look for it in supermarket, but I have the impression that it is pretty easy to find in larger supermarkets all over Europe.

Mint tea is readily available throughout Europe. I would suggest hopping on the Trip Advisor Forums and asking locals this question.

In Turkey, we enjoyed drinking Apple tea.

Thanks for the input. I think we'll just bring a box of mint teabags. It's very light - we'll leave it in the cellophane sealed box until we land (in case there is any issue with the contents), then open and stash in ziploc bags. That's one less thing to worry about.

You can definitely find peppermint tea in Greece. Mountain tea is different. The Greek word for mint is μέντα - I always am able to find peppermint tea. They even have the Lipton brand in Greece.

I have traveled a lot of the world with collections of teas and instant coffee packs with no questions. Are Lipton bags in separate packages - you know, those paper or foil wrap thingies? If so, you can even scatter them amongst your belongings without having to deal with bulk of the box. Or just move to a ziplock if you want to contain smells and loss of freshness. The packs will have sufficient details on it. But yes, even the box is light., but does take up space for a pair of socks or more.
