Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), herbal tea 70g, 500g and 1kg

Description

The genus Thymus belongs to the Labiateae family and includes about 350 species of plants including the common thyme (Thymus vulgaris) native to the Western Mediterranean.

Thyme is a plant that we have been growing for several years on our land located in the countryside of Fermo, in Italy. The cultivation is 100% natural, without the use of chemicals that can be harmful to people or the environment, such as pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.

The collection of the flowering tops and leaves takes place through the mowing of the flowering plant, from April to the whole summer period. The plant is then dried in the classic way (bunches hung upside down), or through the use of special tunnels with controlled temperatures and ventilation. This allows us to dry at low temperatures (<43°), so as not to alter the aroma and properties of the plant.

Finally the Thyme is shredded and packaged. The herbal tea is ready to be enjoyed hot or warm. We recommend hot thyme herbal tea especially in the cold period, excellent especially in association with plants such as plantain, mint, licorice and elderberry.

Usage tips

Infusion. Thyme is used with a teaspoon of dried leaves and flowering tops on a cup of water. Bring the water to the boil, then turn it off and add the thyme, leaving it to rest for 10 minutes. Then it is filtered and drunk.

Warnings

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
