Thyme is one of the oldest and most honoured of herbs, its medicinal effects being profound and widely recognized. It makes an aromatic and soothing beverage; great after meals and during stressful times.

Commonly used to flavour vegetables, meats, poultry, soups, stews, and fish. Rosemary complements the herbs Chives, Thyme, Chervil, Parsley, and Bay leaves.

Native to the tropics of the Americas, Papaya has been in continuous cultivation for several centuries, principally for its sweet fruit. The leaves are widely used in cooking and contain an enzyme that is useful in tenderizing tough meat. In some parts of South Asia, the young leaves are steamed and eaten like spinach.

Papaya was once considered a mystical tree; its leaves were used for medicine and its fruit for food. It remains one of the most popular herbs in Central and South America.

Sage is a perennial mint native to the northern shore of the Mediterranean. Much more than a culinary delight, Sage was an active part of the medicine cabinet of the ancient Romans.

Today, Sage is popular as an aromatic tea as well as a culinary herb.
