Thymus Capitatus, a variety common across Greece’s rocky coastlines, grows into a woody purple shrub each Spring. It prospers in several maritime areas of the Mediterranean, but it can taste very different depending on the place of origin. Its blossoms are hard to find even at well-informed spice shops. Daphnis and Chloe's harvesters trim the blooms one by one, following a laborious process that allows for preserving the herb’s aroma for longer. The most advanced tool to ever touch their Thyme is a pair of scissors!
