How to use it
Rub on chicken or lamb with olive oil before roasting — this is what it was born for. Toss with vegetables, sprinkle on focaccia dough, or stir into vinaigrettes. One tablespoon coats a whole chicken. Mix with olive oil and garlic for instant Provençal marinade. Also beautiful on grilled fish.
Weeknight ideas
Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.
Herb · Caffeine-free
Thymus vulgaris
A small woody-stemmed Mediterranean shrub, dried. Thyme is the first herb into a stew and the one that survives longest in it — unlike most dried herbs, it improves with long cooking rather than fading. Eleven products carry it, from poultry seasoning and herbes de...
Warm, earthy, woody and resinous, with a minty, peppery edge that deepens as it cooks
Herb · Caffeine-free
Foeniculum vulgare
A sweet, anise-scented seed — the anethole in it is the same compound that makes anise and star anise taste the way they do, though the three plants are unrelated. Fennel is the sausage seed and the after-dinner seed at once: nineteen products here carry...
Sweet, anise-like, green and warm; toasted seeds pop and deepen
Herb · Caffeine-free
Salvia officinalis
The name says it: Salvia comes from the Latin salvare, to save. Sage carries rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid and thujone, and it has been studied for memory in both younger and older adults — the ingredient guide summarises those trials. More practically for most people,...
Warm, earthy, slightly peppery, camphoraceous, savory — the classic Thanksgiving herb
Herb · Caffeine-free
Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender's linalool is an extraordinarily potent GABA modulator — at IC50 of ~37 nM in synaptosomes, it's comparable to pharmaceutical calcium channel blockers. Standardized lavender oil capsules demonstrated anxiolytic efficacy equivalent to paroxetine (an SSRI) and lorazepam (a benzodiazepine) in clinical trials. The catch for...
Floral, slightly sweet, herbaceous, perfumed, distinctive
Herb · Caffeine-free
Origanum majorana
Oregano's gentler cousin — the same genus, a much softer voice. Where oregano is pungent and a little bitter, marjoram is sweet, honeyed and faintly citrus, with a touch of pine and a hint of clove. It is the sausage herb and the stuffing herb:...
Sweet and gentle, honeyed with sweet pine and citrus; a little like oregano with the edges taken off
Herb · Caffeine-free
Satureja hortensis
Thyme's peppery cousin — somewhere between mint and thyme, with a piney bite. For most of this country it is an obscure herb; in Atlantic Canada it is not obscure at all. In Newfoundland summer savory is the dressing herb, used the way sage is...
A cross between mint and thyme, with a pungent piney flavour and peppery hints
Herb · Caffeine-free
Ocimum basilicum
Sweet basil, dried — the pizza herb, and the one people are most surprised to find works dried at all. It does, but differently: drying takes the fresh leaf's bright anise-clove top note down and leaves something sweeter and more peppery underneath, which is why...
Sweet and peppery-green with a faint clove and anise note; softer dried than fresh
Herb · Caffeine-free
Salvia rosmarinus
A resinous Mediterranean shrub whose name means dew of the sea, and the one herb in this shop that is literally about memory. It is strong — the oil runs 10 to 20 per cent camphor — and it is the herb most often used...
Piney, resinous and camphor-sharp, with a woody-minty edge
Provençal food, Provençal tea moment. The lavender in this blend shares linalool with our Darjeeling — brew a cup alongside roasted chicken for the floral echo. Our Earl Grey is the other natural partner through its bergamot-herb connection.

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.

It worked beautifully; perhaps if I add a little more honey, it would make it better… It is a wellness tea, after all!
