Tāima is a powerhouse herb, planted here by the miners during the gold rush era of the 1800’s and used remedially during this time. Tāima now grows wild throughout the Central Otago region turning the hill sides into a majestic purple color.
Historically the flower thyme was used by the Chinese miners for its taste, antiseptic and antibacterial properties as thyme oil has been used medically for centuries. Central Otago’s Gold rush era saw thousands of Chinese travel to the region in search for gold with most making the journey from China’s Southern Guangdong Province.
