Thymus citriodorus, commonly known as Lemon Thyme, originates from southern Europe and North Africa, but the Romans are responsible for its propagation. Since Ancient Greek times, it has been considered a symbol of bravery, as well as an expectorating and pleasantly aromatic herb.
What do you know?
A complex and refreshing herb, Lemon Thyme balances the balsamic notes with the woody aftertaste of Thyme with an invigorating lemon flavour. Lemon thyme infusions are smooth and fresh, and the subtle sweetness of the plant replaces the bitterness sometimes found in regular thyme.
Health Benefits
Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, lemon thyme can help strengthen your immune system and promote good health. Its anti-inflammatory and decongestant qualities suggest that an infusion of lemon thyme may also help soothe the respiratory tract and soothe a nagging cough.
Culinary use
Lemon thyme is a versatile herb that can complement your favorite dishes. It’s a great substitute for lemon juice or zest, adding a nice lemon flavor to poultry, seafood, or roasted vegetables. Try adding it to soup, stuffing, or even baked goods.
What the process looks like
The plants are grown organically in our nursery and are selected from among the best-adapted cultivars. Harvesting is done manually near the flowering period of the plant cycle (when the concentration of essential oils is highest). The leaves are dehydrated at low temperatures, never exceeding 25°C. The best leaves are selected by hand.
How do you prepare?
Mix the Lemon Thyme sachet with water at 85°C in a container of your choice (strainer, teapot, or even directly in the cup). Let the leaves rest for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like the infusion.
