I am trying to find where I would buy the so called “guyanese thyme” seeds or plants so I can have fresh all the time…..do you know of anywhere?
Thank you…..those pork chops look yummy!

Hey Cynthia! How have you been?

I absolutely the strong woody fragrance of thyme. It’s such a heady feeling! I too just wrote about thyme a few days ago…

Thanks Melanie. There are so many varieties of thyme and lemon scented herbs in the Caribbean that people make tea with.

Thanks for that info Desi. It is always good to know these things so that as we travel and explore more that we know what each thing is referred to in various countries.

Thank you so much for this information about my lovely herb Thyme.
I always use thyme, but now I’m going to make thyme tea.

Just to add my two cents and congratulate you on your wonderful articles which I never fail to read and re-read. Broad leaf thyme is also called ’sage’, Guyanese thyme is also ‘wild oregano’ and readily available (dried) in Dominican and Puerto Rican food shops.
