This authentic Middle Eastern spice blend brings together the earthy aroma of wild thyme, the tangy brightness of sumac, and the subtle nuttiness of roasted sesame seeds. Handcrafted in small batches, it reflects centuries of culinary tradition, where every household develops its own distinctive flavor balance.

The wild thyme lends a fragrant, herbal depth, while sumac adds a citrusy tartness that awakens the palate. Sesame seeds provide a toasty richness, creating a harmonious blend that is both versatile and wholesome.
