GOOD TO KNOW
Thuringian thyme is harvested only twice a year. This gives the thyme the necessary time to develop and enhance its unique flavor. Thyme derives from the Greek word "thymos," meaning life force, which aptly expresses the aromatic vitality of this versatile herb.

TASTE
It has a robust, spicy, and subtly bitter flavor. Mildly smoky, slightly resinous, and gently peppery. It also boasts a subtle note of forest honey and delicate nuances of fine wood. The thyme flavor intensifies during the drying process. Thyme pairs particularly well with bay leaf, nutmeg, rosemary, sage, and black pepper. Simply combine it according to the recipe and dish – it can also be used to make tea!

PRODUCTION
The growing region in eastern Germany is one of the best for growing marjoram, basil, thyme, tarragon, and other herbs. The climate is ideal, and the soil acidity is optimal. The sun doesn't strip the herbs of all their essential oils. Thanks to gentle processing and the years of expertise of the local farmers, the selected thyme retains its full range of nutrients and flavor. Only two harvests per year allow the thyme to develop properly. Even the ancient Egyptians and Greeks appreciated the flavor of thyme, using it for incense and for generally improving mood. STAY SPICED! Tip: Thyme has also been used for some time as a remedy for asthma and shortness of breath and is now frequently found in tea blends for coughs!
