Organic Thyme by Ermionis

Ermionis organic thyme is a wild plant that thrives naturally in the dry, warm climate of Ermionida, an ideal region for aromatic plants rich in essential oils. It blooms in June and is carefully harvested from our estate in early July. It is then naturally dried and packaged according to ISO specifications to preserve its intense aroma and beneficial properties. Thyme not only gives us our exquisite thyme honey but is also a valuable culinary herb, offering strong flavour and rich aroma to every dish.

How to Use & Store

• As a tea: Add 1 teaspoon to hot water (90–95°C). Steep for 5–7 minutes, then strain.
• In cooking: Add to soups, stews, marinades, or roasted dishes.
• As a seasoning: Sprinkle over grilled vegetables, fish, or meats during cooking.
• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, tightly sealed.

How to Enjoy

• Sautéed mushrooms: Fry sliced mushrooms in olive oil with garlic and dried thyme until golden – the herb draws out the umami and adds savoury warmth.
• Roasted cherry tomatoes: Toss tomatoes with thyme, garlic, and olive oil. Roast until blistered – serve over crusty bread or pasta; the thyme balances the tomato's acidity.
• Thyme & ginger tea: Steep thyme with fresh ginger slices. The ginger's heat complements thyme's earthiness – clean, warming, and digestion-friendly (add honey only if desired).
