(German thyme; Winter thyme)
A Swiss variety developed for high quality commercial production. Although the plants are smaller and produce 30% less biomass compared to standard varieties, the essential oil content is 20-40% higher, and it is high in thymol, about 5-8%. Thymol is responsible for the potent antibacterial and antioxidant properties of thyme.
