Tumuro: Hunza Wild Thyme Tea and the Ritual of a Warm Cup

Tumuro is a simple aromatic infusion whose appeal comes from its clean herbal character and connection to place.

How to prepare it

Add a small pinch to a cup, pour over freshly boiled water, cover and steep for five to seven minutes.

Strain and taste before adding honey so the herb remains recognisable.

When to enjoy it

Its caffeine-free character makes it suitable after meals or as a quiet evening cup.

Pair with dried apricots, walnuts or a little Herbal Honey.

Store the aroma

Keep the herb airtight, dry and away from sunlight and strong kitchen odours.

Use a clean dry spoon so moisture does not enter the pack.
