"Mursal tea (ironwort), linden, rosehip, camomile, lemon balm and lavender are among the most sought-after Bulgarian herbs on the international market. The country has a significant potential for further development and increased production and export of various types of herbal tea", said Minister of Agriculture and Food Georgi Tahov.
