The honeys that taste green.

Here's where we hold the line on honesty. Thyme and oregano plants are loaded with thymol and carvacrol, and rosemary with cineole — and it's tempting to say those compounds carry straight into the honey. But the peer-reviewed honey-specific confirmation is surprisingly sparse: these are largely inferred from the plant's essential oils, not consistently measured in the honey itself. Cineole as a rosemary-honey marker, in particular, isn't well supported.

So we frame herbaceous around the experience — the unmistakable green, herbal character trained tasters reliably perceive — and we're candid that the molecule-level story is less settled than the plant's reputation suggests. Thyme honey tastes of thyme; how much of that survives as measurable thymol in the jar is genuinely under-studied. No compound sidecard for this family — the honey chemistry doesn't earn one, and the honest move is to say so.
