Baikal Thyme Tea (45g) – Wild Harvested from Lake Baikal
Experience the pure essence of Baikal with our wild-harvested thyme tea. Grown in the pristine, rocky slopes surrounding Lake Baikal, this thyme is sustainably hand-picked and carefully dried to preserve its maximum health benefits. A low-growing, evergreen shrub reaching up to 20cm, Baikal thyme boasts tiny leaves packed with aromatic essential oils, creating a uniquely pungent and flavorful tea.
This potent herb is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamins and minerals. A 100g serving provides an impressive 160mg of Vitamin C (nearly double the recommended daily intake!), alongside B vitamins (particularly B6 and B2). It’s also a significant source of essential minerals: iron (97% RDA), manganese (86% RDA), copper (56% RDA), magnesium (40% RDA), calcium (41% RDA), and potassium (24% RDA). Additional minerals include zinc, fluoride, sodium, and selenium.
The key to Baikal thyme’s renowned health properties lies in its high concentration of essential oils, particularly thymol and carvacrol. Thymol is a powerful antiseptic, combating bacterial growth, while carvacrol supports healthy gut flora.
This versatile tea blends beautifully with other wild herbs and berries like rosehips, Kuril tea, mint, Sagan-Dailya (Rhodiola rosea), raspberry, and currant, offering a delightful and healthful beverage. Discover the unique taste and powerful benefits of authentic Baikal thyme.
