Product description
Thymus citriodorus, commonly known as Lemon Thyme originated in southern Europe and northern Africa, but the Romans are credited with its spread. It has been regarded since Ancient Greek times as a symbol of bravery, as well as an expectorant and pleasantly aromatic herb.
Taste description
A refreshing and complex herb, Lemon Thyme balances the woody, balsamic notes of Thyme with an invigorating lemon flavour. Infusions of Lemon Thyme are smooth and fresh, and the subtle sweetness of the plant replaces the bitterness sometimes found in regular Thyme
