Gyuri bácsi's Herb Garden

Discover Gyuri bácsi's teas in Bükkszentkereszt!

The name of Bükkszentkereszt, nestled in the heart of the Bükk Mountains, is closely associated with Szabó György, also known as Gyuri bácsi, the herbalist of Bükk. He dedicated his entire life to learning about herbs and passing on the traditions of folk medicine. He first learned about herbs from his grandmother during his childhood and spent decades gathering and organising his knowledge about medicinal plants.

His work gave birth to Györgytea, which is based on Gyuri bácsi's own herbal recipes and tea blends. Today, his daughter carries on his legacy, preserving traditional herbal knowledge and respect for nature.

If you visit Bükkszentkereszt, make sure to stop by Gyuri bácsi's Herb Garden, where you can get a closer look at the diverse world of herbs. The garden's aim is to showcase and preserve plants known in folk medicine while also introducing visitors to Gyuri bácsi's work and heritage. You can even complement your visit to the herb garden with a pleasant, easy hike to further explore the natural beauty of the Bükk. There's something for the little ones too: a playground in the garden ensures that the programme is enjoyable and engaging for the whole family.

At the Györgytea shop connected to the garden, you can choose from a variety of herbal teas and other products, adding a special tea to your Bükk adventure.
