Description

Wonderful orange and spice scent, a rare combination in the world of herbs. The remarkably strong clear orange flavour lingers in the mouth pleasingly without the harsh after taste of other thymes. This has all manner of possibilities in the kitchen and in tea. Forms dense ground-hugging mats
