Cretan Organic Thyme

The Source & History of Cretan Thyme

I grow on the sunny mountainside above the Mediterranean and am carefully collected by hand just before I flower, when my leaves are rich with essential oils. The nectar of my aromatic flowers makes me one of the most important plants in the life of honeybees in Crete.
