Botanical Identity
Common thyme belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Its accepted botanical name is Thymus vulgaris L. Common names for the plant include common thyme and garden thyme.
This product consists of separated dried flowers and flower heads. It is supplied separately from common thyme leaves and whole flowering herb containing substantial leafy stems.
“Flower heads” is used here as a commercial description of the separated floral clusters. The supplied material and its acceptable non-floral content should be defined against a representative sample.
In Persian, thyme is generally known as Avishan (آویشن), and its flowers may be described as Gol-e Avishan (گل آویشن). Because this name is used for several aromatic plants, the botanical name should accompany it on purchasing specifications.
This page covers common thyme, Thymus vulgaris. Wild thyme, Thymus serpyllum, is a separate species.
For botanical reference, see Kew’s Plants of the World Online.
Product Form and Physical Characteristics
This product is offered as separated dried common thyme flowers and flower heads. The material may contain intact floral clusters, detached floral parts and fragments, with acceptable leaf and small-stem content agreed before ordering.
Colour, aroma, flower condition and fragmentation may vary between batches. Buyers should assess the selected material against a representative sample.
Please specify your requirements for:
- Flower and floral-cluster condition
- Intact and fragmented-material proportions
- Colour and characteristic aroma
- Leaf and small-stem content
- Coarse material and fine particles
- Moisture content
- Foreign matter and damaged material
- Any additional sorting or sieving requirements
The selected sample and agreed specification define the material supplied. Separated flowers should not be assumed to have the same physical specifications or composition as thyme leaves, whole flowering herb, essential oil or extracts.
Applications
Dried common thyme flowers may be evaluated as aromatic raw material for:
- Herbal infusion and tea blending
- Botanical ingredient blends
- Flavouring development and food preparations
- Extraction for further botanical ingredient manufacture
Suitability depends on the selected batch, intended application, preparation method and destination-market requirements.
Buyers should evaluate the material’s aroma, appearance and processing performance before establishing production parameters. Specifications developed for thyme leaves or whole herb should not automatically be applied to separated flowers.
Food and infusion applications require appropriate microbiological specifications and processing controls.
