A fairly robust seasoning, so we recommend starting off with just a pinch or two so you don't overpower your dish, as you can always add more if needed to achieve the ideal flavor. Thyme blends well with many other herbs, enhancing rather than overpowering other flavors. It is spicy with a smoky and piney taste, and undertones of cloves and mint. The aroma is warm and earthy with a slightly floral, peppery fragrance.
