Thyme
Thymus vulgaris
In the Middle Ages, Thyme was given to knights and warriors before they went into battle because it was thought to impart courage to its bearer. The ancient Greeks used Thyme in their baths and burned it as an incense in their temples, while the Egyptians used it in traditional ceremonies. Now, Thyme is known as a popular cooking herb and can be found in households across the world. Try adding Thyme essential oil to meat marinades and savoury entrées for a fresh, herbal flavour!

Sourcing
Why Africa and Europe?
Thyme grows best in a hot, sunny location with well-drained soil. We source our thyme from areas in both Europe and Africa that provide these optimal growing conditions for the plant.
How Does it Work?
Thyme is a perennial herb in the mint family. It has woody stems covered with tiny hairs. The leaves are small, ovular, and slightly rolled at the edges. Thyme also grows tiny flowers that are bluish-purple to pink. It is usually planted in the spring and grows through early autumn. It tolerates drought well and is harvested all throughout the summer. The primary source of essential oil is in the leaves, which are steam distilled.
