This type of thyme, which is typical for the region, is also known as Spanish marjoram. The herbs for this essential oil are both certified organically grown at 800-900m elevation in Castilla–La Mancha and processed by a family-run business. The plants are exposed to extreme climatic conditions in this hot and dry region. As a result of this climate, the thyme is especially aromatic and rich in compounds such as cineol, linalool, and alpha-pinene.
The producer of this fine essential oil is a small family-operated business in the region of Castilla–La Mancha in sunny central Spain. The business was founded in 1970 and has produced essential oils from their own local herbs ever since. The region's bracing climate is especially beneficial to the cultivation of their herbs. The oils are gently processed on-site in the business's own distillery. All products are certified organic to EU and Spanish (CAAE) standards.
Thymus mastichina, also known as wild or Spanish marjoram, originates from Portugal and Spain. This herb belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and grows in the shape of a semi-shrub with fuzzy, upward-growing shoots. In the summer the plant blooms white flowers and greenish-white leaves. This variety of thyme is also used in cooking.
The intensely spicy and warm aromas of this oil invigorate the body and mind, promoting feelings of motivation and confidence.
