Eko Bilko EOOD
"EKO–BILKO" Ltd., Trigradis a producer of an ecologically clean product – Mursal (Trigrad) tea, grown at its natural habitat, at an altitude of over 1200 m, at the foot of the cliffs of Trigrad.
We offer Mursal (Trigrad) tea, grown according to the principles of organic farming (without fertilizers and chemical treatments) at its natural habitat near the village of Trigrad, in the Rhodope Mountains. Our plantations are located in an area with exceptionally clean air, abundant sunshine and crystal‑clear mountain water – conditions that give the herb its unique taste and aroma.
The product is organic, certified by Balkan Biocert Ltd., Plovdiv, which strictly monitors the quality of our production. Every step – from planting and cultivation, through harvesting and drying, to packaging – is carried out in accordance with the requirements for organic production, so that the customer receives a truly pure and authentic Mursal tea.
It is grown at over 1500 m above sea level, harvested by hand in July and August, and dried in small bundles, each one separately, so that the quality, aroma and appearance of the tea are preserved in the best possible way. This traditional drying method allows the herb to retain its beneficial substances, its natural colour and its characteristic lemon‑honey fragrance.
“EKO–BILKO” Ltd. combines long‑standing local experience with respect for nature and Rhodope traditions. Our goal is to offer a product that is not just tea, but a part of the culture and spirit of the Rhodopes – a drink that brings a sense of purity, peace and connection with the mountain. We work in small, controlled batches to monitor the quality of each harvest and maintain a consistently high standard.
We cooperate with local herbalists and connoisseurs of Mursal tea, who pass their knowledge from generation to generation. In this way we combine the scientific approach to organic farming with traditional practices proven over time. Our Mursal tea is preferred both by herbal‑tea lovers and by people looking for natural support for their health.
Certified organic product – Organic
Mursal (Trigrad) tea has a strong antioxidant effect that boosts the human immune system! It is known as the “tea of longevity” and has been used in the Rhodopes for decades as a natural tonic and general‑strengthening elixir. Regular consumption of the tea helps the body fight free radicals and contributes to better tone and vitality.
Mursal (Trigrad) tea loves the sun, the altitude and freedom; that is why it feels best on the very tops of the rocks, where the sun shines on it from all sides and it drinks the life‑giving rays, which it then returns to us – the People. The unique combination of altitude, soil, climate and clean mountain air makes this herb one of the most valuable in Bulgaria.
When the sun warms it, especially during flowering (July), the lemon‑honey aroma of Mursal tea spreads far away, and swarms of bees circle above it, competing to drink nectar from the yellow blossoms. This natural symbiosis between the herb and the bees is yet another proof of the purity of the area and the richness of the local nature.
Mursal tea is easy to prepare – a few sprigs are infused in hot water and after a short time the drink acquires a golden colour and a soft, balanced taste. It can be consumed hot or cold, with honey or without sweetener, depending on preference. It is suitable for daily use and for all age groups.
More and more people are discovering Mursal tea as a natural alternative to synthetic supplements and stimulants. It fits perfectly into a healthy lifestyle, detox programmes and everyday self‑care rituals. Our product is aimed at everyone who values quality, purity and the authentic origin of herbs.
