What are the benefits of thyme in infusions?
Thyme is said to have been born from the tears of the beautiful Helen, Queen of Sparta, whose abduction by Paris triggered the Trojan War.
In ancient Rome, thyme was dried and burned to protect against evil spirits in places of worship or in front of the house, thus ensuring wealth and a long life.
But what interests us, among its many virtues, is its beneficial effect on the respiratory tract and the throat .

What thyme is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?
We'll let you in on a marmot secret: it's not one but several thyme essences that make up our unique recipe for Thym Les 2 Marmottes .
A very powerful red thyme for its decongestant effect.
A second, lighter and more subtle country thyme , for the aromatic note.
A final top secret thyme to calm the organoleptic power of the first.
Great art. Not everyone can be a master brewer.

Word(s) of the master brewer
"At Les 2 Marmottes, infusion is an art form... Ready for a thyme lesson? The aromatic components of a plant are not constant. The same plant growing in different locations can secrete very different essences depending on the sunlight, climate, soil composition, or altitude. The concept of chemotype, made official in the European Union in 2006, designates a distinct chemical entity within the same species. Why tell all this? Not to be clever, but because it is the basis of our Thyme infusion recipe. The three thymes selected are all "thymus vulgaris," but different sub-varieties used for a very specific purpose. To summarize, red thyme clears clutter, local thyme perfumes, and our third secret thyme creates the binder for the entire recipe. To develop this unique infusion acclaimed by enthusiasts, we have been working with a Spanish producer for nearly 40 years. Thyme, thyme, thyme… we won’t tell you who it is!”
