The organic kit box from IKARIA, the longevity Greek island

IKARIA, a small island at the eastern part of Aegean Sea with just 7000 inhabitants, all of a sudden became world famous. The reason is that it belongs to the five regions of the world, the so-called BLUE ZONES, where residents live much longer than average. This longevity has been associated with the Ikarian way of life, its gastronomy and the indulgence of local wine, known since the times of Homer. In August 2023 a NETFLIX documentary tried to explain the reasons of the longevity and attracted worldwide attention. Soon afterwards, LONELY PLANET ranked it in the top-10 places to visit in 2024!

1) PHILOSOPHER, 750 ml, 14.5% alc. is a minimal intervention wine made from the local grape varieties of Fokiano and Koundouro (Mantilaria). Vinification takes place with the aid of indigenous yeasts that reflect the unique terroir of the island, while aging takes place in oak barrels that offer a full-body, rich flavor and a naturally occurring high alcohol content.

2) ARALE, 750 ml, 14% alc. comes from the Greek word «aragma», which means “to relax”, a pastime that is highly appreciated in the Ikarian culture. Balanced flavor and the aroma of plums and cherries in this not-easy-to-quit-drinking wine! Same blend with PHILOSOPHER however without aging in oak barrels. Notice how fruity ARALE evolves to serious PHILOSOPHER.

3) ATHERAS, 20 gr.  is given by the name of the biggest mountain of Ikaria. it is a herbal calming tea blend of supreme taste and healthiness.

4) ANAMA, 250 gr is the name of an indigenous type of heather found in the high mountains of this strange little Greek island. Honey is unusually thick in texture and totally delicious! No additives | No thermal treatment | Awarded in major worldwide competitions.
