The idea behind Arritos lies on our need and desire to create tasty herbal beverages.
Drawn from creativity, imagination, and knowledge, we founded 'Arritos Herbal Blends,' with the desire to resurrect tradition and its adaptation to today's tastes. A modern lab from Thessaloniki, Greece which selects, and modifies plants and seeds composing blends related to experiences of the Greek countryside, memories and tradition. After monthly trials, our blends have transformed into carefully maintained combinations of herbs and ingredients. Beverages with unique identities, they combine different characteristics in terms of culinary properties while at the same time they offer a balanced and enjoyable result. ‘Arritos’ knowledge is alternatively the experience; a feeling that cannot be described in words. Arritos is a notion that you have to live and feel with all your senses so to completely understand it.

Raw material is of the main importance in a product and the good quality depends on a wide range of factors
A fine quality product depends on the place, the microclimate, the field Greece presents many deferent kinds of microclimates. Each one of them gives a variety of local herbs with a wide range of tastes and aromas.
The selection of the right cultivars depending on the place, the appropriate care exclusively with organic and natural methods, the right harvest time and the natural drying process are critical conditions for the herbs to show their best properties.
We cooperate with certificated organic herbs cultivators allover Greece depending on the place, and we develop a trust relationship based on fair trade.
Cooperating with organic farmers encourages an eco friendly way of cultivating and a more conscious way of living.
We chose to make beneficial herbal blends and at the same time very pleasant and tasty
Our blend combinations are based on proper education and careful tastings. Our choices were guided not only by the beneficial properties of the herbs, but also by the pleasant aromatic and tasting result of each blend. We created blend series with deferent aromatic and tasting identity which are caffeine free so they can be consumed all day long.
Complete herbal experience where all the senses take part
The careful sorting of whole leaves and flowers gives not only an elegant taste, but also a visual experience of colors, textures and forms insight every package. During the preparation of the herbal tea each herb stands out in a different way in every phase of the herbal experience, that is smell, taste and aftertaste.
Try it cold or use your imagination with creative recipes
Our blends are ideal for cold brew where the coolness changes the character of the herbal tea giving a contemporary and refreshing outcome. They also can be a creative ingredient in kitchen or pastry recipes or in light cocktails, used as an extract or in some cases as an edible blend of herbs.
The innovation that can join the tradition’s pureness with the contemporary way of living
Our company, who rests faithful to the idea of tradition while simultaneously following the contemporary way of living, has created small artisanal pouches from pure cotton to case its tea bags. This innovative solution has been based on both cotton pouches and the traditional “tsantila;” a cotton cloth with multiple uses in the past. The fabric is made by pure cotton unpainted and unbleached having all the certifications to be safe and at the same time completely natural and eco-friendly.
Braille code on our packages, because everything starts with the senses.
We get inspired by senses. That’s why we contain basic information in English Braille code which informs about the kind of the product and refers to an also accessible website, so that people having serious vision problems are not excluded.
Sustainability, eco-friendly philosophy and support of the domestic production
We care to reduce the energy footprint. Hence, the cotton fabric we use for our handmade pouches is unpainted and unbleached, which means less water wastage on the productive process and a completely eco-friendly product. The same eco-friendly philosophy is behind our package, which is made by recyclable paper certified with responsible forest management and sustainability. We believe on Greek products and we create 100% Greek ones. From the raw materials to the packaging our products are entirely native. That means supporting the domestic economy and less energy consumption for transport of the raw materials that minimizes the overall energy footprint of our products. Our Lab operates according to ISO 22000 certification system
