Botanical Identity
Wild thyme belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Its accepted botanical name is Thymus serpyllum L.
Common names include wild thyme, creeping thyme and Breckland thyme. Because common names can refer to several thyme species, purchasing specifications should identify the material by its botanical name.
In Persian, thyme is generally known as Avishan (آویشن). This name is used for several aromatic plants and should be accompanied by the botanical name when identifying the supplied material.
Thymus serpyllum and common thyme, Thymus vulgaris, are separate species. This page covers dried wild thyme leaves supplied under product code HER-042.
The name “wild thyme” identifies the plant in trade; the sourcing method and origin of the selected batch should be confirmed separately.
For botanical reference, see Kew’s Plants of the World Online.
Product Form and Physical Characteristics
This product is offered as dried wild thyme leaves and leaf fragments. Fine stems may be present, with the acceptable non-leaf proportion defined in the agreed specification.
Colour, aroma, fragmentation and fine-material content may vary between batches. Buyers should assess these characteristics against a representative sample.
Please specify your requirements for:
- Leaf condition and general appearance
- Whole-leaf and fragmented-material proportions
- Cut size, where required
- Colour and characteristic aroma
- Stem and coarse-material content
- Fine material and powder
- Moisture content
- Foreign matter and damaged material
- Any additional cleaning, sorting or sieving requirements
The selected sample and agreed specification define the material supplied. Cut, rubbed or milled forms should be specified separately.
Whole flowering herb, separated flowers, seeds, essential oil and extracts require their own product specifications.
Applications
Dried wild thyme leaves provide aromatic raw material for professional processing applications, including:
- Herbal infusion and tea blending
- Herb and seasoning blends
- Savoury food preparations
- Botanical extraction
- Further manufacture of aromatic botanical ingredients
The selected batch must meet the requirements of the intended application and destination market.
Leaf condition, cut size, stem content and aromatic characteristics should be evaluated before production. Flavour and extraction performance depend on the material, inclusion rate and processing conditions.
Food-processing suitability depends on the agreed specification and preparation method. Applications without a further microbial-reduction step require appropriate microbiological specifications and process controls.
